Expectations

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.

Compensation

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.
