We are looking for at least one judge per event, that either holds an active Membership of Judge Academy, or is a "Historic" L1+ at September 30, 2019.

Judges are also expected to arrive at their call time, roughly 45 minutes before their event is scheduled to start, in appropriate Judge attire (Black Regional Polo, Magic Judge shirt or black button-up shirt; black cargo pants, slacks or skirt; comfortable black shoes). Judges are expected to stay until the end of their event.

Judges are requested to sign up for a Cardboard Live account, as we have migrated our online decklist submission to this service.

Compensation is based on event and/or role.

L1+ Floor Judges for all events receive $100. If an individual event has more than 32 players, Floor Judges will receive an extra $15. Sealed will receive an additional $15.

Amounts are in cash (an invoice is required to receive payment). You may choose to receive your compensation in store credit, with a 25% bonus.
