In addition to the staff compensation outlined above, sponsorship is available.
Applicants can request sponsorship during the application process by responding to the relevant questions.

Sponsorship can be requested for various reasons

General compensation for this event is designed for Judges having a short to medium distance to the event city. Sponsorship can be requested if you live farther from the event city or have other constraints that make it more expensive for you. Especially if you fly in from outside the region, you can request sponsorship because your distance and cost are higher.

The following are the maximum that can be requested per region

Asia: 6000 CNY
Rest of world: 12000 CNY

Expectation on traveling to other georegions

We encourage Judges to apply to events outside of their regions to facilitate growth and consistency around the world. 
But please be aware that travel to other georegions than your own (Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific) for Judge roles is, in most cases, reserved for Level 2 Judges. You may apply for any region but please adjust expectations accordingly. An exception to this is Latin America due to the strict visa regulations for North America. 

除了上述报酬之外，我们也提供旅行补助。
申请人回答问卷中的相关问题即可申请。

交通费用并非申请补助的唯一原因

补助通常是为需经较长旅行才能到达赛事城市的裁判而设。如果您居住的地方离赛事城市较远，或有其他因素导致旅行费用增加，便可以尝试申请补助。如果您来自其他地区，由于您的交通成本较高，因此便可申请交通补助来缓解压力。

下列数字是各地区所能申请的最大补助额度：

亚洲：人民币6000元
其他地区：人民币12000元

跨地区执法说明

我们鼓励裁判积极申请所在地区之外的赛事，以推动全球裁判队伍成长、保证各地参赛体验相同。

不过跨地区执法的裁判名额主要为2级裁判准备，虽然您可以申请任何地区的赛事，但希望这一说明能方便您理解跨地区申请时的中选机会。此外，由于拉丁美洲访问北美的签证要求较为严格，因此会例外处理。

This conference will feature a Thursday-afternoon session. One track in English and one in Mandarin. Details will be posted closer to selections. This conference will be attendee-sponsored and focus on newer Judges.

本次赛事将在周四下午安排一场裁判会议，分为英文和中文两条线来进行，具体日程将在日后公布。本次会议将会为参加者提供补助，且主要是为新晋裁判提供帮助。

所有工作人员都会获得本次赛事的参赛赠品，作为各位辛勤工作的纪念赠礼。这些赠品是您在应得报酬之外获得的额外赠礼，亦不会替代您的应得报酬。

另外，所有裁判计划1级或更高级别的工作人员都会获得一份裁判专属的赠品。

本周末赛事结束之后也会安排聚餐，大家一起享受美食、饮料及轮抽，共同庆贺赛事成功举办。具体安排会在日后告知，大多数赛事的庆功聚餐都安排在周日晚上。
