Eastern PA Mock Tournament

!!!Please Note - JA Sponsorship has been Approved!!!

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 on 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.

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 constructed 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.

Application Letters are not required unless you wish to be considered for the role of a judge or presenter.  All who wish to participate as a judge or presenter in the tournament should submit a letter of application. 

In addition to players and judges, we are also looking for a presenter.  This presentation will take place before the event start time and be presented to participants in the "judge role".  If you have a presentation that you think will beneficial to our participating judges, please indicate this in your cover letter, as well as the topic of your presentation.
