Staff Pre-Lottery Room Reservation Policy

โŒ„ ACTUALLY READ THIS NOTE BEFORE THE REST OF THE DOC โŒ„

<aside> โ— NOTE: This is not a replacement for the current rooming process, in which 4 staffers are assigned to a room (best matched according to their requests). This is an additional perk offering to all eligible Super MAGFest staffers. This offers 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.
