Event Info

2020 HBMO Head Judge - David Hibbs

Sunday $5k Head Judge - Bel Robelen

The 2020 tournament will feature the Modern main event, as well as a $5000 Pioneer event on Sunday. The main event will be played with Swiss rounds on both Saturday and Sunday. 

The HBMO and $5k Pioneer event will be run at competitive REL.

We're seeking judges for Saturday and Sunday. 

Applications close on February 24th, and the staff will be announced at least 4 weeks prior to the event, by February 28th. 

Roles

The 2020 event will need judges to fill the following roles. Please indicate on your application which roles you are applying for.

Main Event Team Lead

Floor Judge

Compensaton

Floor Judges will receive 75 prize chips per day. (Boxes of Theros Beyond Death will be available for 72 prize chips at the prize wall, along with other sweet goods for purchase with chips).

Leads will recieve an additional 75 prize chips for each day they are leading.

We'll be sure to get everyone squared away early on Saturday so that if you want something special off the prize wall we can make it happen.

Lodging

To make your weekend easier, we would like to provide lodging at the hotel attached to the venue if needed. After staff is finalized, we will determine what everyone needs and get it booked for you. Expectation should be two judges to a room, and we'll try to honor whatever requests you have.

Perks and Swag

All volunteers for the 2020 Hunter Burton Memorial Open will recieve a swag bag, including the 2020 staff t-shirt, and a bunch of other goodies. We have a catered lunch scheduled for each day.

Standby

A small number of judges will be accepted as standby and will recieve free entry to the main event or two other events of their choice if not activated.

Setup & Other Volunteering

The HBMO also needs additional volunteers to help with some of our preparation including collating swag bags, and event setup on Friday. We have a small team of volunteers already, but if you're willing to help out please let us know.
