EXPECTATIONS
Judges at StarCityGames.com Open Weekend events are expected to prepare for each 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 Judges Document Center. As representatives of StarCityGames.com and the Magic Judge Program, judges are expected to behave in a professional manner at all times. This includes arriving on time, and in appropriate attire.
Judges are expected to arrive no later than 10:30 am on Friday, 9:00 am on Saturday, and 8:30 am on Sunday and are expected to stay until the conclusion of the Swiss rounds. If you anticipate being unable to arrive on time or needing to leave before 7:00 pm please include that information in your application.
Judges at the StarCityGames.com Open Weekend will be provided a StarCityGames.com judge shirt, which is expected to be returned at the conclusion of the event. The Judge should arrive with black pants, black belt, and black, comfortable shoes. During breaks, or any other time that a judge is off duty, judges should remove, or cover, their Judge shirt.
COMPENSATION
All judges will be required to sign an agreement for their work at a StarCityGames.com Open Weekend. 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.
Level 1 Judges will receive $125/day staffed.
Level 2 Judges will receive $175/day staffed.
Level 3 Judges will receive $225/day staffed.
Judges also receive an SCG Tour playmat matching the Open event format.
HOW TO APPLY
In addition to submitting an application ("Apply Now!" at the top of the page), we ask that all applicants complete a GoogleForm with additional questions. Applications without either of a completed GoogleForm response or a Judgeapps application will not be considered.
As per the Wizards Play Network (WPN) policy posted in the Magic Rules and Documents, StarCityGames.com is required to perform annual background checks on all public facing staff, including judges, contracted to work at our events. After event applications close, but before staff selection, all judges who have not already done so within the previous year, will be asked to provide both the necessary information, and consent, required for StarCityGames.com's third-party organization to conduct a background check. Please note that these forms must be completed and returned by their respective deadline(s) if you wish to be considered for a contracted judge position at a StarCityGames.com event.
If your judge level is not currently correct on JudgeApps when you apply please mention this in your application and ask the person who tested you to update this before the application window closes.
The application window for this event will close at 11:59 PM Eastern time on Monday, April 23rd, 2018. Judges wishing to apply for this event after the application window has closed will need to contact us at Judge@starcitygames.com.
Please note that late applications will be considered at a lower priority than those received during the official application window.
Due to staff needs, judges may be accepted for one, two, or three days. There are questions in the GoogleForm to indicate your preference, and requirements to attend, in your application.
Staff will be announced on, or before, Friday, April 27th, 2018.
We do not provide travel or hotel sponsorship for floor judges at our Open Weekends. Information on room blocks and local hotels will be located in the Event Fact Sheet as it becomes available.
