About the Event

Las Vegas Mind Sports Festival is hosted by Mind Sports International. Alongside Magic: the Gathering, the Festival will feature Chess, Scrabble, and more. For more information, visit http://www.cascadegames.com/events/985

The Magic events will be convention style events. This means that we will be running lots of small events instead of one large tournament with X rounds of swiss. We will be running more than a dozen tournaments as well as pick up 8 player events. The events will feature great prizes includng Modern Masters foil sets and uncut Magic sheets and the like. 

These events provide a great learning experence for judges. 

Cascade Games wants judges to have fun while judging but also have the chance to enjoy Las Vegas.  In keeping with that and the event needs, applicants must be able to commit to working at least 2 days including Saturday.  Judges can commit to all three days if they desire.  Effort will be made to maintain staffing levels that allow all staff to have one of the three days off based on availability and demand. 

Event schedule will be posted at http://www.cascadegames.com
