Event Information

The third annual Hunter Burton Memorial Magic Open should attract more than the 150-160 numbers from the past two years. We will use a staff of nine this year. Possibly ten.

We are playing Standard for the Swiss rounds. The top eight will then play a Modern Masters 2015 booster draft. Registration starts at 8:00am and play begins at 9:00am. I'd be happy for help at 8:00am but as long as judges show up closer to 9:00am that will be fine. Please wear your black judge shirts if you have them, with black trousers. If you do not have a black judge shirt, please try to wear all black, a shirt with a collar would be preferable to a t-shirt.

This event is also a Star City Games Super IQ and will be run at Competitive REL.

Compensation for floor judges will include $100 cash for level ones and $200 for level twos and above. In addition, each judge will receive $40 for lunch/parking. Judges will also receive various promotional items associated with the event including, but not limited to the Hunter Burton Memorial six-sided die, a lanyard, a pen, a commemorative t-shirt and of course poker chips. Only 29 dice were created this year. They are being given to a limited number of VIPs along with each of the top eight finishers and each member of the judge staff.

Top-notch judging has helped make this event special. We could never be successful without your hard work.
