The goal of the Level bonus and Experience bonus is to encourage our judges to both come back to our events, as well as advance their judge skills through official certification. If you have questions about the structure, feel free to reach out via the MXP discord or to the judge manager directly via email.  

Additionally, Laughing Dragon will pay one month of dues for staff members who are dues-paying members, at the event, of an organization that certifies judges, provided such a gift is permitted by the organization's rules and the dues are reasonable. 

Travel Sponsorships

For Tacoma, we have a small budget to provide a limited number of travel sponsorships. All judges that apply for the event will be considered. If you receive such a sponsorship the offer will be included with your acceptance offer.
