Event Information
Welcome!
Hello, and thank you for your interest in judging at Grand Prix Charlotte! Below, you will find all of the information needed to apply for the Grand Prix. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us at judge@starcitygames.com.

Staff for Grand Prix Charlotte will be primarily Level 2+ Judges. A small number of Level 1 Judges may be selected to assist with side events.
Expectations
Judges at Grand Prix Charlotte are expected to prepare for the event by reviewing the Comprehensive Rules, Magic Tournament Rules, Infraction Procedure Guide, and Judging at Regular REL documents. These documents can be found at the Magic: The Gathering Document Center. As representatives of StarCityGames.com and the Magic Judge Program, judges are expected to behave in a professional manner at all times.
Judges are expected to arrive in time and in appropriate attire to begin judging at the start of their assigned shifts. The Head Judge will be arranging main event shifts for Saturday and Sunday and StarCityGames.com will assign side event shifts including all Friday schedules. If you anticipate being unable to arrive by 9:00 am any day, or needing to leave before 8:00 pm any day, please include that information in your application.
Judges at Grand Prix Charlotte should be in Magic Judge Program attire of Official Magic Judge shirt, black pants, black belt, and comfortable black shoes. During breaks, or any other time that a judge is off duty, judges should remove, or cover, their Judge shirt. Once staff has been selected, there will be a forum thread posted with a way to request Magic Judge shirts.
