Staff changes

We are proud to announce that Nixon has been promoted to Head Admin. He will join the Head Admin row as the first Hungarian Head Admin in ETF2L’s history. It also has been a while since ETF2L had 3 Head Admins at the same time! Good luck to Nixon.

Chiers has left the League Admin staff, we wish you the best in your future endeavours!

We are looking for new League Admin Staff members!
We are looking for YOU!

What are the requirements and what can we expect of you?

• Good use of English (big plus if you are a native speaker). Our team has members from multiple countries all over Europe! We aren’t always perfect with the language, but you as an admin must speak fluently enough to discuss things within the community and create posts like this one.
• Ability to work objectively and without bias. This includes: going into cases with a neutral attitude, staying out of cases of people you know personally or cases that involve yourself.
• Ability to work with confidential and sensitive information. All admins very often handle data which is not supposed to be seen in public, such as private player data given in admin requests. Leaking that data can damage our league and hurt it’s players.
• Being a trustworthy person in general. People do make mistakes, nobody is perfect, but some actions taken in the past such as Cheating and having a ban history related to Inappropriate Behaviour (such as Racism) may make you less likely to be accepted in your application.
• Having a positive attitude towards making things better. This means not only doing admin related work, but also thinking about if there are better ways to handle things we manage in general within the league.

The League Admin role has many responsibilities that are league related, such as:

• Dealing with match conflicts.
• Sorting out admin tickets.
• Handling the setting of Default Dates during competitions.
• Verification of played matches.
• Creating and maintaining main stage tournaments and cups.
• Getting involved into internal admin discussions related to the league.
• Being actively involved in general discussions with the community.

What can I get out of becoming a League Admin?

• Having an impact on how one of the biggest TF2 competitive league works and manages things in general & behind the scenes.
• Making TF2 competitive a better place in general for all community members.
• Help ETF2L to be seen more positively by the community as a whole and having an impact on it’s future.
• Gain experience in maintaining the ETF2L organisation through teamwork, resolving tickets and more.
• Enhance your own skills which can include: Teamwork, Communication, Organisation, Multi-tasking and much more!

The role of a League Admin can be very time-consuming. However, it’s important for admins to be able to plan their availability for routine tasks and pre-scheduled activities, such as: Cup nights, Season preparation/wrap-up, etc. Additionally, providing support during match times has grown in importance, therefore we cannot really employ admins who have team commitments every four to five times per week (especially but not limited to Thursdays). Same goes for creating and overseeing cups. It is always easier said than done, having the idea and setting up a cup is only a small part of actually running a cup. Being available while the cup is under way, providing match support, dealing with conflicts, lending out servers, seeding further rounds, verifying finished matches, issuing default wins and many more tasks have to be handled, while possibly 15 or more matches are going on simultaneously, you may not be alone, but you will be part of it.

Also something we want to address is our interest in self-managed admins, we will not take you by the hand and lead you through everything there is to do. YOU have to show interest, YOU have to ask what you can do, YOU have to prove you really want to be an admin. There are plenty of admins around almost all the time, who are happy to help you and show you the ropes, but at some point routines will have to be dealt with without someone telling you that they need to be done. At the same time, communicating with other admins is very important, to avoid certain tasks being done twice, conflicting results in decisions or even decisions overwriting previous ones.

With an emphasis on THE VERY LEAST, most applications that cover only the very basics will not go very far, and will likely not be accepted upon review.
