The Mighty Meeple is looking to expand into large 2-day events around the Southeast, so now would be a great opportunity to learn more about the Meeple as a tournament organizer and store and introduce yourself to their staff.  This conference is also aimed at preparing newer judges for such events so they can acquire new skills and build up confidence for their first large events.  The event is capped at 50 attendees, preference will be given to judges located within the Carolinas, but judges from the US-East and surrounding areas (GA, TN) are welcome to apply and attend.  Any further questions can be directed via e-mail to the organizer, Michael Moore at mmoore.me@gmail.com or via Discord at ohmalley#6197.

Also, feel free to join the Carolina Magic Judges Discord for additional event updates and introduce yourself to the local judge community. https://discord.gg/uRcFcgU5z9
