Compensation and Judging Schedule:

The WMCQ Weekend will be a two day event, with the PTQ and Last Chance Trials being hosted on Saturday, and the WMCQ being hosted on Sunday.  Please include in your application which days you are able to work.  Preference may be given to judges able to work both days.

Floor Judges will be expected to arrive at or before 9:00am both days, and will be expected to work through the conclusion of the swiss rounds (approximately 8:00pm).  Please indicate on your application if you need to leave before 8:00pm on either day.

Level 1 judges will recieve 1.5 compensation unit per day.

Level 2 judges will receive 2 compensation units per day. 

Level 3+ judges will recieve 2.5 compensation units per day.

Each compensation unit can be redeemed for a current Booster Box, $75, mailed as a check after the event, pending completion of a Federal W9 tax form, or $100 store credit, which can be used on site or after the event. In addition to the appropriate number of compensation units earned, each Judge volunteer will be given a $20 food stipend for each day judging, paid at the end of the event. 

Expectations:

Judges will be expected to arrive on time each day ready to work in standard Judge attire(Judge shirt or black button down shirt, black pants, black belt, black shoes, and black socks).  In addition, Judges are expected to have an up-to-date knowledge of the Comprehensive Rules and Penalty Guidelines as it relates to a Competitive REL event.

Judges will be expected to travel and lodge at their own expense. Top Deck Games will not be offering any travel accommodations.  We have arranged for a hotel block of rooms for $129/night across the street at the Home2Suites by Hilton.  The link to make a reservation in the room block is up at www.cardtitan.com/wmcq2014
