Judge Requirements

As a judge, you are expected to:

• Be up to date on all Standard set mechanics and interactions (see the Release Notes for each set) as well as all required documents for judging at Regular and Competitive REL (IPG, MTR, JAR).  If you are applying to judge on Sunday, familiarity with Modern and Pioneer rules interactions is also strongly preferred.
• Wear proper judge attire, as outlined in the official judge uniform guidelines here (under the section entitled "The black judge shirt"). In particular, you should always strive to maintain a clean and professional appearance while working the event.
• Contribute to the success of our events and have a positive, helping, and professional attitude toward players, staff, and partner stores at all times. 

Note: Strong preference is given to judges fluent in French over those who are not.

Roles

The following roles / shifts are available for this event. Please indicate clearly in your application the role or roles for which you are applying. You may apply for multiple roles on the same day, but if you do please indicate in your cover letter which role is your preference.

Store Credit Option

Judges may choose to take their compensation in the form of store credit with L'Expedition, with a 25% bonus. If a judge chooses this option, then ALL his or her compensation will be paid out as credit -- there is no mix-and-matching.

Invoices and Payment

Judges accepted to work this event will be expected to submit an invoice to the TO by email within 2 days of the event, indicating their total hours worked (not including unpaid break). The TO will then send them a cheque within one week after receiving the invoice, to the address listed on the invoice. A model invoice will be available in the event documents. Judges opting to take compensation in store credit should still sumbit an invoice (including the store credit bonus), but will be able to have the credit added to their account immediately.

Applications are open until November 15th!

Staff will be announced no later than November 17th
