Concise description:
- the tournament directors should oversee the TPA
Specifics/Details:
- the tournament department should hire 1 more person whose main task will be to oversee the TPA
- spreadsheets and passwords would be in a central location accessable to all TD's
- TD's can be rotated in/out of the role depending on their availability
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- the concept will not disappear because 1 person has real life issues
- the person running the TPA doesn't actually run tournaments, they do the bookkeeping that allows everything to run smoothly, much like the TD's do now updating the database and handing out medals
- the TPA is a natural extension of the roles the TD's currently provide for us, 1. they make a note of winners, 2. they ensure tournaments meet the guidelines, 3. they keep an eye on tourneys to keep them moving.
- so lets make it an official event where the task can be easily shared amongst several volunteers
