Three table people must be scheduled for every game to staff the official's desk as a scorer, 35-second timer and game timer. If desired, one individual should be scheduled to sell tickets and apparel. Individuals at the official's desk should wear white shirts to indicate their position as table officials. Teams must ensure that their personnel are well trained in their respective duties.

A copy of the Desk Training Manual is available on the web site. Teams failing to provide competent personnel may be penalized by losing their next opportunity to host a tournament.
