Tournament Volunteers

Odyssey of the Mind is a completely volunteer run organization. It takes approximately 100 judges and 100 volunteers, depending on tournament size, to run a smooth tournament and we count on each and every one to help make this a positive experience for the teams.

General Information about Volunteers

  • Time commitment: 2-3 hours on ONE SATURDAY, the day of a tournament.
  • Responsibilities: register teams, help with souvenir sales, serve as doorkeepers, etc.
  • It is strongly suggested that volunteers not be coaches! It is suggested that parents or other Odyssey supporters have the opportunity.
