Hosting Information

Timeline for Hosting

1.   Beginning of the Season (August): Provide accurate hotel information to the Executive Secretary (including hotel name, address, phone number, room rates, block reserve information, etc.)  This information will be posted on the MAFL website and needs to be in early to ensure teams can make the necessary hotel arrangements early!

2.   Before Your Tournament: The specific invitation for your school's tournament will be published the week following the previous tournament.  I will need:

      -web address for your school or program

      -directions to your school

      -food suggestions for lunch

      -location of registration

3.   The Week of Your Tournament: The week of your tournament (no later than Tuesday at 5:00 pm) I will need information for scheduling the MAFL:

      -list of competition rooms (approx. 25)

       -identify a tab room, extemp prep room with clock, and a room for awards (holding about 125, with a table for awards).  This is in addition to the competition rooms.

      -list of 7-9 hired judges ($10 per round or 60.00 for a full-time judge).  A full-time judge needs to clean to judge the host school and available for all 6 rounds.  If they have judging restrictions then they will only be eligible to be paid per round judged.

      - extemp question (if you are providing them) - MAFL provides Impromptu quotations

4.   At the Tournament: At your school the following will make the tournament run smoothly:

      -table and 2 chairs for registration location

      -tab room with table for laptop (2 chairs), table for writing postings, area to stuff ballots 

      -student to handle extemp draw (preferably an extemper)

      -student to photocopy and stuff results

      -photocopier and paper - approx. 225 copies

      -paper for posting finalists

       -students who would be able to get the administrative staff some sort of lunch (MAFL absorbs cost)

MAFL brings all schematics, ballots, markers, tape, results forms and administrative staff to tabulate results. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
