Event Information

Hello Judges! On behalf of Hairy Tarantula I'm proud to announce our next Preliminary Pro Tour Qualifier! This PPTQ will feed PT Sydney 2016. We are looking for 1 Floor Judge and 1 Standby Judge for this event. Please read this entire listing as it will have details on expectations and compensation.

The Head Judge for this event will be Eddie Cheung.

EXPECTATIONS

Judging is a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work. Judges are also expected to review the Magic Comprehensive Rules, Magic Tournament Rules, and Infraction Procedure Guide. Judges are expected to arrive at 10:00am, and stay until at least the end of swiss. Judges are expected to arrive in proper judge attire (Magic Judge shirt or black button-up shirt, black slacks (no jeans please), and comfortable shoes). If you don't have a Magic Judge shirt, let us know and we'll attempt to get one for you to borrow. During breaks, you will be expected to cover or remove your Judge shirt.

COMPENSATION (Some items have changed, please read)
 
We offer several options for judges to be compensated, in units called Compensation Units (CU).
 
If selected for 'Full Sponsorship' you will receive 2 CUs. Select this if you are an L2+ or an experienced L1 who may be working towards L2. If you are working towards L2 please list progress on relevant checklist items as our preference would be for L1s working on their L2 checklist.
 
If selected as 'Volunteer' you will receive 1 CU. Please select this if you are an L0 looking to test for L1, or a newer L1 looking to get more Competitive REL experience. You are more likely to be selected as volunteer. If you would like to test for L1 see below.
 
If selected as 'Standby' you may be activated as needed. If activated, you will receive 2 CUs. If you are selected for standby, but not activated we still invite you to participate, and we'll give you FREE ENTRY. We will only accept certified judges for standby (no L0s).
 
Each CU can be redeemed for:
12 boosters of a standard legal set
$50 store credit
or $40 cash
 
If receiving multiple CUs you may mix and match accordingly. Please mention in your application what mix you would prefer. If no preference is selected, we will default to store credit.
 
Additionally, a $10 lunch stipend will be provided to each judge on staff.
 
Note: we will consider judges for Confirmed statuses (Full Sponsorship or Volunteer) BEFORE we will select Standby Judges. If you do not select Standby, we will not consider you for Standby.

Testing opportunities for Level One are available for this event. If you are interested in testing please contact Judge Manager Seth Black at judgesethblack@gmail.com and apply for this event as a "Volunteer".
