Mox Mania XLN Preleases

PIRATES ... DINOSAURS ... VAMPIRE CONQUISTADORES ... WHAT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No, it's not Unstable .. yet. It's Ixalan! An exciting new adventure! With dinosaurs and pirates and stuff. And a semi-shirtless castaway Jace?? I dunno.

Anyway! Who wants to help judge this ... thing? Well, five things!

Friday Midnight: Sealed

Saturday 11am: Two-Headed Giant Sealed

Saturday 5pm: Sealed

Sunday 11am: Two-Headed Giant Sealed

Sunday 5pm: Sealed

These events have been very popular in the past, and with pirates and dinosaurs and stuff, I'm sure this one will be no exception. I'm looking for 2 judges for most shifts (probably just one judge and maybe a standby for Sunday PM). Please indicate in your application which events you're available for, and in which capacity you'd like to work (Head Judge, Floor Judge, Standby).

Roles:

Head Judges are the masters of ceremonies. They lead the whole operation, from setup to teardown. They coordinate all of the tasks that need to be done -- product preparation, announcements, match slips, scorekeeping, floor coverage, round turnover, etc. -- and ensure the event runs smoothly. They are also the final arbiters of rules and policy questions, and they are entrusted to investigate and resolve event-integrity issues like cheating or unsporting conduct.

Floor Judges execute these tasks as directed by the Head Judge. Handle WER tasks, cut and pass out slips, take judge calls, tidy up the event area, etc.

Standby Judges are available to judge if they are needed, at the discretion of the Head Judge. If not needed, they can play (or go shoe shopping, or go disc golfing, or go home and watch football, etc.).

Compensation:

Is primarily in the form of booster packs based on player turnout at the rate of 1.25 packs/player (or store credit at a $2.25/pack rate). Due to their different roles and level of responsibility, this is between HJ and FJ at a 2:1 ratio. Exception #1: If both judges are L2+, they may work out a split beforehand that is more equitable. Exception #2: If the FJ is uncertified, the split may be different, to be decided on a case-by-case basis. (Contact the judge manager if you have questions or concerns.) Also, light snacks and drinks are provided.

Expectations:

Arrive at least 30-45 minutes before your shift to help with registration and setup. Attire is standard Judge Black: shirt, shoes, belt, pants/dress/skirt/utilikilt, etc. If you have a Mox Mania shirt of some kind, wear that. A Magic Judge uniform shirt is fine too, as is a plain black shirt of some other sort. Or, if you have some other Judge swag, that's cool too. If you have questions or concerns, indicate as such in your cover letter, and/or contact the Judge Manager.

Questions about any of these things? Feel free to contact the judge manager.

Thank you, good luck, and happy plundering judging!
