Prereleases at Mox are usually quite popular.  We will be looking for two judges for each event.  Either a head judge and floor judge or a head judge and standby.  Indicate in the questions above which roles you would like to apply for by event or that you are not available.

Jack Hesse wrote a great description of the roles, compensation and expecations in a previous prerelease app, so I'm stealing the next three section from him.

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.

 

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
