The event director is the principal person in charge of organising and running a specific Frivolous event. Events include leagues, tournaments and social events.

The event director is directly responsible to the Frivolous committee and the event participants.

The event director should:

• Promote the event
• Coordinate the operation of the event
• Be the main point of contact for all event participants
• Collect any cash and cheque payments and deposit them in the Frivolous bank account
• Provide a weekly update to the Frivolous committee
• Provide a written report to the Frivolous committee within a fortnight of the event completion
• Provide a financial report to the Frivolous treasurer within a fortnight of the event completion

Where applicable, the event director should also:

• Create balanced teams
• Develop game schedules
• Keep custody of event equipment; including first-aid kit, cones and scoreboards
• Collect and collate game and spirit scores
• Provide weekly score updates for the Frivolous website
• Coordinate event awards, prizes and presentations

• Access to Internet facilities (ie. email and web browsing)
• Access to word processing and spreadsheet programs.
• Membership of FUI and the AFDA.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• Knowledge of current event specific rules and guidelines.
• Knowledge of FUI, TUA, and AFDA policies that relate to events.

Ideally the event director is someone who:

• Has previous experience as a director of events or structured competition.
• Is well organised and self-motivated.
• Has familiarity with the FUI and AFDA registration systems.

Once the club has been established (ie. after the first year) some firm benefits to being a event director should be outlined.

• The event director is appointed by the Frivolous committee for a term that lasts until the event is completed and final reports written up
• The estimated time commitment required as an event director is 5 hours per week.
