EXPECTATIONS

Judges at StarCityGames.com Provincials are expected to prepare for each event by reviewing the Comprehensive Rules, Magic Tournament Rules, Infraction Procedure Guide, and Judging at Regular REL documents. These documents can be found at the Magic Judges Document Center. As representatives of Hairy Tarantula and the Magic Judge Program, judges are expected to behave in a professional manner at all times. This includes arriving on time, and in appropriate attire. 

Judges are expected to arrive no later than 9:00 am on Saturday and Sunday, and are expected to stay until the conclusion of the Swiss rounds. If you anticipate being unable to arrive on time or needing to leave before 7:00 pm please include that information in your application.

Judges should arrive with appropriate Judge attire (Magic Judge Shirt or black button-up shirt, black slacks/skirt, and black, comfortable shoes). If you do not have a Judge shirt, let us know and we will attempt to get one for you to borrow. During breaks, or any other time that a judge is off duty, judges should remove, or cover, their Judge shirt.
