How do I become the Affiliate Manager?

The official affiliate owner, known as the Licensee of Record or "LOR," can either serve as the Affiliate Manager or delegate the responsibility to someone else who has completed the  2019 Online Judges Course.

NOTE: If you were the Affiliate Manager for the 2019 Open you are automatically listed as the Affiliate Manager for the 2020 Open.
