* Ensuring the registration of teams for the tournament,
 
* Getting the packets of the question set to moderators in proper order, either by making paper copies or by email at a [[paperless]] tournament,
 
* Creating a [[schedule]] for the tournament,
 
* Keeping track of payment,
 
* Ensuring the keeping of [[stats]], as well as their swift posting after the tournament for all teams who attended,
 
* Determining [[protest]] resolution,
 
* Awarding prizes and recognizing top scorers.
 
 
 
The tournament director of a tournament often uses a control room, or "War Room," separate from the game rooms as a place for the delivery of [[scoresheets]], keeping of stats, and resolution of protests. (The [[NAQT HSNCT]] and [[NSC]] are large enough that the TD or TDs set up four control rooms below their own authority to handle different brackets or physical areas of the tournament.) In especially small tournaments, the TD may read for a room of the tournament.
