If you are interested in helping but not sure you want to commit to the level the above positions require, we always need help at each event from taking a shift on the Podium and assisting the players to commentating live streamed matches. Too busy at the events, there is plenty of prep work to be done before each event that you may be interested in. Some require specific skills, many just require time and the desire to help.
