Event Information
Hello, friends!
I am happy to announce that a Magic: The Gathering Judge Conference will be held on Thursday, July 23rd, attached to Excalibur Columbus at the Greater Columbus Convention Center from 5 PM - 10 PM.
Come and socialize, build your judging network, and most importantly, learn. Here are some cool things that will be offered to you if you attend:
- Attendee Gifts
- Presenter Gifts
- Free Play Booster Packs
- Potential Prize Support Packs
The conference will have one main opportunity to learn, practice, and reflect on your tournament skills, especially difficult calls/conversations. Here is a general/tentative itinerary for the conference:
- 5:00 - 5:15 - Welcome, Thanks Yous, and Introductions
- 5:15 - 6:45 - Hard Calls Workshop
- 7:00 - 10:00 - Funsies Team Draft (Set TBD)
A successful and vibrant judge conference would be impossible without the following group of individuals: I am specifically looking for 2 individuals who are comfortable navigating and facilitating the workshop (the workshop is designed, but I would need these individuals to act as players).
Most importantly, none of this work would be possible without attendees, so if you are interested and excited, please apply! I am so excited to see you there!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please add me on Discord: specialk52431 or send me an email at bigred2431@gmail.com
