The Area Captain program will be replaced with a new structure that will include an application process. You can find the application here: https://apps.magicjudges.org/events/8762/

With this said, here is what things will look like.

There will be 3 levels of management. First level will the RC and their Deputy (for lack of a better term). Just below that will be Area Coordinators and Specialty Coordinators. The Specialty Coordinators will have specific roles: PPTQs, Events, Advancement and Social/Communication. There will also be an Administrative Coordinator. You can find a full description of all the roles here:  http://bit.ly/SWUSA_Roles

Area Leads: There will be a lead for each quadrant of the region that specializes in one of the areas listed above. For example, SoCal will have a PPTQ lead, Advancement lead, Events lead and Social/Comm lead. These leads will report directly to the Specialty coordinator and Area Coordinator for their area. The application for Area Leads will be posted after all Coordinators have been chosen. Timeline will likely be late November.

Current leadership is very excited for the new structure and the potential benefits it brings to our region.
