You’ll have the opportunity to work at least one night a week at pubs, clubs and restaurants, meeting new people and getting to know them. You will prepare your equipment, host the game, keep score, and present prizes to teams. The average game goes for about 150-180 minutes, including equipment set up and pack down.
