+title: Tournament Committee Applications Now Open!
+date: 2025-01-13 17:00:00 +0000
+---
+
+Calling all tournament goers! We're excited to announce that, for the first time ever, formal applications for the [Tournament Committee (TC)](/wiki/People/Tournament_Committee) are now open!
+
+![](/wiki/shared/news/2025-01-13-tournament-committee-applications-now-open/banner.jpg)
+
+We are seeking passionate individuals with significant tournament experience — including players — to help support and improve the community.
+
+## Who are we, and what do we do?
+
+The Tournament Committee is a panel of skilled and established organisers and helpers in the tournament scene. Here is some of what we do:
+
+- Reviewing tournaments for badge support.
+- Handling tournament reports and inquiries from the community.
+- Keeping rules up to date in the [tournament support](/wiki/Tournaments/Official_support) wiki page.
+- Mentoring event organisers, answering questions, and providing resources.
+
+## Requirements
+
+To join the TC, you must meet the following minimum criteria:
+
+- You must be at least 18 years of age.
+- All applicants are checked for any notable community rule violations within the last 12 months, which would disqualify them from joining.
+- Fluency in English is mandatory, as most reviewed content and all communications are in English.
+
+## Who should apply?
+
+We're looking for individuals who are:
+
+- Passionate about osu! tournaments
+- Team players
+- Exceptional communicators
+- Organised and reliable
+
+## Standout qualities (bonus points!)
+
+We are particularly interested in candidates who:
+
+- Have a clear understanding of the tournament hosting process and badging criteria.
+- For staff members: Have hosted multiple badged tournaments or have experience as a tournament player.
+- For players: Have staffed multiple tournaments or hosted at least one badged tournament.
+- Consistently demonstrate a genuine desire to improve the tournament scene through their actions and advocacy.
+- Are fluent in languages other than English.
+
+## Application
+
+**[Click here to apply!](https://form-auth.ppy.sh/form/2025-tournament-committee-applications)**
+
+After authentication, you'll complete a Google Form that collects basic information and includes scenario-based questions. We recommend setting aside about 45 minutes to provide well-thought-out and detailed answers.
+
+To ensure a fair evaluation process, please respond as if we're unfamiliar with you or your previous work, even if you're well known in the community. This approach helps us gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of your skills, perspective, and enthusiasm.
+
+## Timeline
+
+This application cycle will remain open for **2 weeks**, closing on **Monday, January 27, 2025**. Please note that it may take up to 6 weeks after the closing date to process all applications, so we appreciate your patience.
+
+## Questions

+If you have any questions about the process, feel free to:
+
+- Leave a comment on this news post.
