TRAVEL

EXPECTATIONS

Judges volunteering at a Star City Games Classic Series event are expected to prepare for each event by reviewing the Comprehensive Rules, Magic Tournament Rules, Infraction Procedure Guide, and Judging at Regular REL documents, each of which can be found at the Magic Judges Document Center. Judges are also expected to behave in a professional manner at all times, as representatives of Star City Games and the Magic Judge program. This includes arriving on time, and in appropriate attire.

Judges should arrive no later than 8:30 AM on days they are scheduled to judge and are expected to stay until the conclusion of the Swiss rounds. If you must arrive later than 8:30 or may have to leave before the conclusion of Swiss (to catch a ride, for instance), please note that in your application.

The dress code for judges at our Classic Series events is a tucked-in Star City Games judge shirt (which will be provided for your use at the event, and will be returned at its conclusion), black pants (dress pants are preferred; jeans are acceptable), a belt, and comfortable shoes (both preferably black). Judges should not be in uniform while off-duty, including during breaks and while trading.
