Magic 2014 Prereleases

Hello judges,

Magic 2014 Prereleases are coming, and Outpost Brussels need a whole crew of judges for them, as they scheduled a total of six events.
Prereleases are more than a regular tournament, they are celebration of a new set, and carry a lot of excitement. They feature gimmicks (in this case, the  Planeswalker Disciple achievements and Mastery achievements : http://www.wizards.com/WPN/News/Article.aspx?x=2013_06_11_M14PWP ) and a lot of new or really casual players, so judges are expected to help in order to be sure that everything is as fun as possible and to run extra activities if possible, like Planeswalker contests for example.

As those are Regular events focused on the discovery of the new set, Judges are welcome to play too - however, we strongly discourage you to play and judge with 24+ players, as this would likely negatively impact the customer service provided.

Reviewing the documents (MTR, JAR) and the upcoming set FAQ beforehand will be expected.

The Outpost team plan for 40-60 players for the largest of those events and 20-30 for the smaller ones, so two judges will be staffed on some of those events. The spare judge system will be in use: with less than 33 players, one judge will not be staffed and will play for free as a compensation.

So here is the planning:

Saturday 13/07 0h01: Sealed Deck
Saturday 13/07 12h00: Sealed Deck (2 judges)
Saturday 13/07 16h30: Sealed Deck
Saturday 13/07 20h00: Sealed Deck Two-Headed Giant. Be sure you know the 2HG rules! http://wiki.internationalmagicjudges.net/index.php/2HG_FAQ
Sunday 14/07 12h00: Sealed Deck
Sunday 14/07 16h30: Sealed Deck Two-Headed Giant. Be sure you know the 2HG rules! http://wiki.internationalmagicjudges.net/index.php/2HG_FAQ

New compensation chart:

- Prerelease :
* If less than 24 Players: the judge plays for free.
* If more than 24 Players: Total Judge compensation Pool (to be divided between judges if several) = store credit of 10 eur + 0,9 eur/Player
* No  Discount on Food and Drinks

Please indicate which tournament(s) you want to judge.

Be aware that most of them will go for about ~5 hours (as the Outposts often cap their prereleases to 4 rounds regarless of participation), so schedule accordingly.

If you want to use these prereleases to certify one of your judgelings, he can judge Saturday 13/07 12h00 under your supervision. Please mention it in your application.
