This is not a WOTC sponsored conference, and is not foil supported. That being said, there will be judge goodies given out to active participants.

Snap Keep Games has been gratious enough to provide a FREE DRAFT to all certified judges, or judges that certify at this conference. Any additional drafts will be $10.

We will also have a BBQ potluck, with Snap Keep Games providing the grilled carcasses of various beasts. 

In addition, all certified judges will receive an additional 10% trade bonus for attending!

After the Conference and Draft, there will be additional drafts, and a variety of board games.
