No you don't. Many people have become TD's online. I don't even need SwissSyS, because chess.com automatically creates a ratable file.
I'm concerned because you have no past directing experience, and youre 13 which can cause some biasism in potential cheat cases.
You are concerned that there might be cheating in the tournaments, and because I am 13 I won't be able to catch that?
I believe he is concerned that even if you catch them, because you are 13 years old, you might not enforce the proper consequence if the cheater is a friend or acquaintance to you.

Yes. And that you won’t be able to make critical decisions. You can’t rely on chess.com to ban people all the time.

@1g31-O Out of curiosity, at what level/rating do you think a player is capable of making a proper judgement in all cases where a player is suspected of cheating—regardless of age?
Right now tournaments have no prizes, so hopefully that discourages cheating. Also how good do you guys think chess.com is in catching cheaters?

The guy is good enough for sure. I wouldn’t trust someone unless they’re like 18 at least.

Of course you don't see his name, big brain. You seriously think anybody would have the name of "Carl Magnusen"?
no, I was sure, but I was making sure that there really is noone named carl magnusen
That is homogeneous to clicking on a Youtube link to make sure that the video is not a rickroll. In ensuring that your initial intuition is correct, you are in turn falling for the trick one has played on you.
