Additional accommodations regarding days worked and leave times may be arranged on an individual basis.  Please list any special requests you have in your application.

Judges will have to complete appropriate tax forms on site before receiving any payment.  This applies to all judges that are accepted to work this event.  This compensation is expected to cover your expenses for the event including hotel and per diems.

We are also working on getting a unique, fun and useful judge giveaway.  More info to be posted later.

*Application

In your application please include any information on why you feel you should be accepted.  Keep in mind that requests for scheduling are not needed at this time and will be collected by the HJ later.  However any specific restrictions on when you can work should be included in your application.

*Hotels

There is no hotel sponsorship for this event.  Judges are expected to make their own arrangements regarding where they stay. 

There are two hotel blocks being arranged for, details will be posted when we get more information.

Once staff has been selected it is recommended that you make contact with other judges to get hotel rooms.  We can use the event forums for that purpose.

*Certification testing

We will likely be offering L1 and L2 certification.  If you are an L1 and interested in testing for L2 at this event make sure to include the following information in your application:

-How long you have been a L1 judge?

-Who tested you and at what event?

-What events you have worked? (It does not need to be complete, just a few for examples)

-Some other judges you have worked with.

If you know of anyone that is L0 and interested in testing for L1 at this GP, please have them email me at judge@legionevents.com.  We will still accept ‘walk ups’ but getting information from interested judge candidates beforehand would be useful.
