RollerCon Submit Training Class
HELLO! Thank you for wanting to lead sessions at RollerCon. Thank you in advance for all your great ideas!

We schedule from MARCH - mid-MAY each year. 
This form stays open, but we don't actually LOOK at it until February, so if you're submitting before then look for confirmation of receipt in March when we start scheduling. We try to finish before mid-May, so if you're submitting after that, it might be too late for this year. 

YOU MUST BE IN VORC to get scheduled & compensated: https://volunteers.rollercon.com/

**************

What happens next: we review your entries, and contact you if we have questions. We frequently edit your entries for clarity, typos, grammar and - sometimes we have to rewrite the people-facing parts entirely for a few of ya (though we prefer not to). Then we usually start scheduling in batches. We schedule directly into our calendar, and you will receive an email from our calendar with details.

*WE BOOK IN VEGAS TIME* but your g-calendar will probably adjust the entry to your home timezone. This gets weird for folks in faraway timezones! Check your schedule by searching for your name or the class title in our app, "rollercon" in app stores or email rollercon@gmail.com for a screenshot of your schedule.

Once scheduled, you will get more information (in a confirmation email) that includes timelines, contact info on site and lots lots more.

Thanks again for your interest in hosting a session at RollerCon! Your contributions are among the MOST popular events at RC and the convention would not be what it is without you. THANK YOU.

Scheduling
Thursdays and in the morning every day are the most common schedule requests we get from our coaches, also the most popular class time for attendees. So we mostly book returning, very popular and 5-star coaches for one hour during those spots. For more info about our 5-star system (which we didn't have 22, but do in 23, & we use the ones from all past years for returning coaches), please check out https://rollercon.com/about/mvp-star-ratings/
Max # of times you can teach the class *
*It is very unlikely we will book many classes more than once or twice
Duration *
*MOST* classes will be one hour, but if you request longer, we will do our best to accomodate in less busy time slots (afternoon / evening). But we cannot guarantee it.

WHY most classes are one hour: our MVP folks can easily manage rosters and letting people in and out when the classes start in one hour increments. Two teams of MVP staffers move from track to track every 15 minutes. When we have a class that is longer, that track gets out of sync. Managing 8 tracks gets really complicated when some get out of sync, making it so that more than two classes start at the same time. 

Two hour classes keep the sync, but then we run out of space earlier for all the awesome classes we'd like to schedule. 

So we'll definitely do our best to accomodate your preferences, but our feedback says that students love a focused topic in an hour, which works awesome for everyone!

Specific Request
