This space will help teams reach the pinnacle of their performance in a competitive, yet enjoyable festival atmosphere.

Volunteer Benefits & Accommodation
Due to the circumstances of the event and the venue for EQC2022 Division 1, we are sadly not able to provide free accommodation for all volunteers. Additionally and because of legal requirements, we are forced to adapt our official payments for this year’s edition of EQC.
However, we have worked hard to come up with a system to still give all our volunteers the perks they need and deserve for helping out at the event and make EQC the flagship event we all want it to be.
In order to be eligible for volunteer perks, you need to have been accepted as either volunteer or official (through confirmation from the tournament organization or QE) and be scheduled for a minimum of 50% of the time during the event*.
You will receive the highest perk tier you qualify for!
*In the event, that you miss any of the requirements for the volunteering perks and this can be attributed to either QE or the tournament organization (e.g. you just didn’t get scheduled enough times to meet the 50% time requirement), you will still receive all benefits from your volunteering perk tier!
| Tier | Who | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Committee Members | Full Board for the duration of their stay (accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner) |
| 2 | Pitch Managers | Full Board for the duration of the event (accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner) |
| 3 | Non-Playing Officials | 80% discount on accommodation for the duration of the event (you only pay €8/night*). Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the duration of the event. €5 per game officiated. Capped at €70 in total. |
| 4 | Non-Playing Volunteers (not in tiers 1-3) | 50% discount on accommodation for the duration of the event (you only pay €20/night*). Breakfast & lunch for the duration of the event. |
| 5 | Playing Officials | €5 per game officiated. Capped at €70 in total. |
Accommodation
All non-playing volunteers and officials, in case required, will be hosted in Kilmurry Village, Plassey Village or Cappavilla Village on campus. If you are a confirmed volunteer within Tier 1 to 4, please check your email where you’ll be staying.
