Nerd Rage Gaming is excited to present the application to work at the NRG Championship Trial on November 3, 2018. For more information on the 2018 NRG Series, please visit this link. The Facebook page for this event is here.
Please read the entire solicitation before applying.
We are accepting applicants for many different roles at this event. You may apply for more than one role. In your application, please specify which role(s) you are applying for.
- Head Judge: The Head Judge for this event is Karl Weisling.
- Floor Judge: We will be accepting 4-5 floor judges at this event.
- Scorekeeper: We will be accepting one scorekeeper at this event.
- Registration/Info Desk: We are looking for one person to help work at the main stage for this event. More information about this role can be found below.
All Staff: All judges are expected to act in a professional manner as a representative of Nerd Rage Gaming Ltd. All staff members are expected to arrive at the venue by 9:30 AM (venue opens to the public at 10:00 AM). Staff members should be wearing a Magic Judge shirt, black undershirt, black belt, black pants, black socks, and comfortable, close-toed shoes. The typical shift will cover all rounds of Swiss plus the first round of the Top 8 Playoff. This shift will last approximately 8-10 hours, with a full-round break and a half-round break given at the head judge's discretion.
Floor Judge: Roles that these staff members may be asked to do include, but are not limited to:
- answer calls and deliver rulings/penalties at Competitive Rules Enforcement Level.
- answer calls and deliver rulings/penalties at Regular Rules Enforcement Level (side events).
- conduct deck checks at Competitive Rules Enforcement Level.
- help maintain a clean, clear, and safe play environment.
- assist with basic scorekeeping duties.
Registration/Help Desk: Roles that this staff member may be asked to do include, but are not limited to:
- take registration information and payment for scheduled and on-demand side events.
- answer player questions about general event information.
- organize and manage a Lost and Found.
- assist with basic scorekeeping duties.
All staff members will be compensated based on their role and level of expertise. They will receive their compensation in the form of check upon the conclusion of the event, and must complete appropriate tax paperwork (W-9 for US citizens). Judges may opt to receive store credit or product instead of cash compensation. Store credit can be spent at the vendor booth, in-store, or at nerdragegaming.com. Judges may elect to take product of the most recent Standard set at $80/box. So, for example, an L2 floor judge can choose between $120 paid via check (pending tax form completion), $120 in store credit, or 1.5 boxes of Dominaria.
All judges also receive NRG Judge Rewards points upon the conclusion of the event. Head Judges and Scorekeepers will receive 10 points, while all floor judges receive 5 points. More information about the NRG Judge Rewards program can be found here.
- All questions or comments about this application can be directed to NRG Judge Manager Max Kahn at max@nerdragegaming.com.
