Staff Lottery Room Reservation Policy

Updated for Super 2027

<aside> ❗ NOTE: This is not a replacement for the standard rooming process, in which 4 staffers are assigned to a MAG-paid room (best matched according to their requests). This is an additional perk we offer to all eligible Super MAGFest staffers, giving an additional option for staff housing.

</aside>

This is an opportunity for MAGFest staff to reserve/pay for a hotel room before the general public is able to participate in the lottery. Please note this is a significant privilege.
