Event Information
Hello, judges!
On behalf of the Eastern Region, I'm pleased to announce that we are doing a Mock Tournament in the greater Philadelphia area!
We will be simulating a Competitive REL tournament with the help of multiple volunteers acting as players, Team Leads, and a HJ. Over the course of the day, we will go through each facet of a Comp REL event. This style of event serves as a training ground to learn various roles and to get lots of practice taking calls.
Judge participants will be rotating through roles as the various teams. They will learn how to prepare for a Comp REL tournament, how to make announcements, how to handle deck checks with actual decks to check, how to handle the floor, and lots of feedback on investigations and rulings. Judges participating as players will likely be assinged that role exclusively.
We will need judges to act as players, judges to act as team leads/the HJ, and judges to act as judges. The format will be constructed (which one will be decided later). If you are a player, you will be required to bring your own constrcted deck of the format being played (survey will be in the application). Remember, the cards just have to be legal in that format, the deck doesn't have to be part the meta to be legal.
The event will be capped at 30 people.
Those attending in a Judge Role are expected to dress in a black shirt (GP Judge shirt, Regional Judge Shirt, or a polo/button down shirt are recommended), black pants/skirt/kilt, and comfortable shoes/sneakers. You'll be on your feet and taking calls for the better part of 3-4 hours. Those attending as players should dress for the role.
Support:
As a sign of appreciation, Wizards of the Coast allows us to offer attendees a selection of promotional foil cards. The exact packet is not known at this time, but will include four promotional cards. These foils are available if you meet the following criteria:
-Register for the conference by applying to this JudgeApps event before the deadline
-Be a certified (Level 1 or higher) Judge with a correct level in JudgeApps or Judge Academy at the time you apply, or if you certify after applying, email me at em610161@wcupa.edu with your updated level.
Schedule:
Judges - 10:00 am call time
Players - 10:45 am call time
We expect to start the mock tournament at 11:15 and be done with the event by 3:30pm. We will be starting on time that way anyone who has any evening engagements that day can still make them.
Application Letters are not required unless you wish to be considered for the role of a judge. All who wish to participate as a judge in the tournament should submit a letter of application. Please note in the letter the position you are most interested in applying for - judge, Team Lead, and/or Head Judge (you can request to be considered for more than one role).
