Event Information
We are looking for local judges to help us run the Cardmarket Series event in Prague!
Cardmarket Series website: http://series.magiccardmarket.eu/
Please read the below information carefully! Judges from all regions are welcome to apply, but we expect that most applicants will be from the Czech Republic and nearby countries.
Expectations
All staff members are expected to perform their duties in a professional manner that reflects positively on the rest of the event staff, Play-MTG.eu and Cardmarket. We expect you to have fun, be professional and contribute to a great atmosphere for everyone to be in.
In addition to making rulings, judges can be asked to assist with event logistics, such as setup/breakdown, managing lines, pushing chairs, picking up trash, handing out prizes.
We expect every staff member to dress professionally throughout the event weekend and hold up their personal hygiene. Cardmarket will provide shirts for judges and these are to be worn with black pants or skirt, belt and shoes. Sizes S to 3XL are available. If the size you require is not available, you may wear the black judge shirt or a plain black dress shirt instead.
Shifts
This is a three day event. It is possible to work 1 to 3 days - please indicate all options you are willing to accept. We expect Saturday to be the busiest day, while Friday should be the least busy, with lower numbers of judges needed. We will only have a limited number of three-day slots available.
For each day, we need 1-2 Head Judges. If you need a specific number of HJ shifts, please indicate this in your cover letter. In general, we will choose one "main" HJ for all three days and a second HJ for each day.
In addition to judges, we need:
- Ops: Takes care of event logistics, registration, product/prize handling. May be asked to assist with scorekeeping, including non-Magic games (training will be provided).
- Spotter: Helps coverage get information about feature matches. Certified Magic judges preferred, spotter experience is a bonus. Only needed for Sat/Sun
- Friday goodie prep help: On Friday, we need help with preparing goodies. The work hours for this are from 13:00 to approximately 19:00, and the compensation is 75 EUR.
- Friday setup help/Sunday breakdown help: On Friday, we need a few judges to come in early (8:00 to 12:00) and help with setting up the venue. On Sunday, we need some help with breakdown in the evening. Breakdown judges must be available until midnight. The extra compensation for these shifts is 50 EUR.
