Event Information
Welcome!
Hello, and thank you for your interest in judging at Grand Prix Louisville. The format for this Grand Prix will be Legacy Constructed.

Staff for this event will be primarily Level 2+ Judges. A small number of Level 1 Judges may be selected to assist with side events.
Expectations
Judges at Grand Prix Louisville are expected to prepare for the 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: The Gathering Document Center. As certified representatives of the Magic Judge Program, judges are expected to behave in a professional manner at all times. Judges are expected to arrive on time and in appropriate attire to begin judging at the start of their assigned shifts. The Head Judge will be arranging main event shifts for Saturday and Sunday and StarCityGames.com will assign side event shifts including all Friday schedules.
Judges at Grand Prix Louisville should dress in Magic Judge Program attire including Official Magic Judge shirt, black pants, black belt, and comfortable black shoes. During breaks, or any other time that a judge is off duty, judges should remove or cover their Judge shirt. If you do not have a black Magic Judge shirt, one will be provided for you.
Compensation
All Judges will receive a Grand Prix Louisville playmat along with an exclusive gift. Compensation will be determined by level:
- Regular REL In-Store (Level 1) judges will receive $175 for each full day on staff.
- Competitive (Level 2) judges will receive $250 for each full day on staff.
- Premier (Level 3) judges will receive $325 for each full day on staff.
All judges will be required to sign an agreement for their work at Grand Prix Louisville. Compensation will be in the form of a check, which will be provided at the end of your final shift of the weekend or mailed out after the event. International judges will receive their compensation in the form of a PayPal payment after the event. Judges will be required to fill out a valid W-9 (domestic) or W-8 BEN (international) US tax form in order to receive their compensation.
Food, Lodging, and Travel
StarCityGames.com is making travel sponsorship available to a limited number of Competitive (Level 2) and Premier (Level 3) judges:
- Partial Travel Sponsorship - $50 per day
- Full Travel Sponsorship - $100 per day
The Grand Prix Louisville application form has questions to indicate the level of sponsorship you are applying for as well as whether you would be willing to consider a lower tier of sponsorship. Judges will not be offered a sponsorship level more than one tier below their requested level. Note that financial considerations will be taken into account when staffing this event.
