EDF SELECTION PROCESS

BACKGROUND

• EDF has grown in popularity from less than 20 applicants to over 100. With only 50 spots, there had to be a method other than allowing DJ's to haphazardly sign-up. Additionally, there needed to be a way to determine which DJ's were A) interested in EDF consistently, and B) where they rest within that structure.

SOLUTION

• DJ's submit an application to EDF within the allotted window set by EDF staff.

• The EDF Scheduler uses a numerical-based system. A numerical-value is assigned to a DJ when A) it's their first time applying to EDF or B) when returning DJ's apply to EDF but aren't selected to perform.

• There is a database where a DJ's numerical-value is tracked for future EDFs. This allows DJ's to carry over their numerical-values assigned to them if they aren't selected to perform.

NUMERICAL VALUES EXPLAINED

• 1.5 - Applying to three EDF's. This is the max numerical-value a DJ can earn. A DJ with 1.5 must be placed within the current EDF.
• 1 - Applying to two EDF's.
• 0.5 - Applying to one EDF. Special Note: First time DJ's applying to EDF will be assigned this numerical-value.
• 0 - The DJ performed in the previous EDF.
• These numerical-values will be reset to zero once the DJ performs within EDF.
• DJ's that are asked to fill a spot during an ACTIVE EDF will not have their numerical-values reset. Thank you for saving us!

FAQ

How do I sign up to perform?

• Join the discord and contact a moderator for a DJ tag. All DJ's will be required to read and understand the rules prior to submitting an application. If approved, the DJ will be assigned an EDF DJ tag!
