Welcome to the first Mana Clash Event!

Just like National finals we need an amazing team of judges to support us. This event will have main events run at CompREL and Command Zone/sides run at RegularREL. You are expected to have CompREL experience to work on main event. Due to the nature and size of this event both Full and Half Shifts are available.
If you are willing to work a Half Shift please note this on your application, these are likely to finish just after lunch (1pm-2pm).

Schedule:
Friday: All side events all the time
Saturday: 7 Point Highlander + Sides
Sunday: Modern 5k + Sides

Compensation:
If you are selected for a Full Shift you should expect to work the full open time of the venue or until dismissal by your Head Judge.
All roles will be compensated $250 per full-day. Half shifts will be compensated $125.
Lead roles (Head Judge and Scorekeeper) will recieve an additional $50 each day.
Standby Judges will be entitled to 1 free entry ticket for an event to any Non-Main event when on standby. If activated to Judge you will recieve compensation equal to your shift length. You will need to be at-venue from open to roughly 1pm to allow you to be activated if needed.
