USA-South Summer Judge Conference

This is the rescheduled conference for the USA-South region. The conference on February 28, 2015 unfortunately was weathered out, so here is our first conference for the year!

The Judge Conference is open to everyone, regardless of Judge Level or location. However, If you plan to attend, please apply here so that we will have an accurate headcount for planning purposes.

Venue
Common Ground Games is hosting us for this conference! They have a large play area which will be converted for our use, and a staggering board game library which is available for use during the breaks!

Directions: Get on I-35E towards Dallas. Take the Inwood exit. If you were headed north, take a left. If you were headed south, take a right. Continue until you reach Conveyor Ln, then make a left into the parking lot. Common Ground Games is the store with "GAMES" emblazoned over it. Or you can google it: https://goo.gl/maps/F7ZVO
