For immediate application: TOSP Chair
The WFTDA is hiring a chair for the Tournament Officials Selection Panel for the 2026 Competitive Cycle. The Chair will be appointed by the Board of Directors on an accelerated timeline to support a need for urgency, given that the first tournament is less than six months away. The application will remain open at least through Friday, October 10th, with a selection being made as early as October 12th if a qualified candidate has applied.
