The Japan Society of Northern California will have the Regional Japan Bowl at the University of San Francisco on February 18th, Sunday and are looking for volunteers to help us on the day of the event. We would greatly appreciate your help. The Japan Bowl is an exciting and fun event that lets high school students studying Japanese test their knowledge of the Japanese language and culture. The registration table volunteers ensure that the teams, teachers, and volunteers arriving are registered and assigned to competition rooms. The registration area will be used for referral throughout the morning rounds.
Guides are responsible for directing teams to their appropriate competition rooms.
The guide should also serve as a watch person during the preliminary competition. Moderators are responsible for reading the questions and determining whether an answer is correct or not, so they should be native Japanese speakers. Since it is up to the moderator to make a quick decision when an answer is given. In the final round, however, the moderator may turn to the panel of judges for assistance. The aides are needed to assist the moderator throughout the competition.
