The judges

Dark Sphere would like a number of level 1+ judges to help with one or both days of the event.

Please indicate appropriately on your application.

Whichever role you are appointed to, you may at any stage be requested to assist with side events or with ancillary tasks such as registration, coverage, scorekeeping, or assisting players.

Dark Sphere values judges who have shown a dedication to event efficiency and integrity.

The base compensation for judges per day shall be a box of Hour of Devastation booster packs, or stock to an equivalent value to be taken on the day. Free drinks and snacks are offered throughout the day, and meals whilst on duty will also be paid for. Precise arrangements for these will be advised on the day.
