Welcome to the first physical judge conference in Central California in nine years! It has been awhile since we could all be together at a judge conference physically, so I want to use this event to refresh judges who may be rusty on hard and soft skills up to this point.

The date of the conference is set for Saturday, December 11th, starting at 1:00 pm. The conference is going to be set for 5 hours. There will be two hours of hard skills, two hours of soft skills, and a one-hour game show presentation at the end. I will be at the store at noon if people want to arrive early to meet up, visit, and talk beforehand.

Presenters are:
Thomas Conmy
Adam “Taz” White
Brian Dombroski
Eric Cheung
Charles Ferguson

The event will be foil supported! You need to be at least a level 1 JA certified judge by the date of the conference, apply to the event, be accepted to attend, and attend the conference. I am mainly accepting judges from California, but I am willing to accept judges from outside that area if you’ll be in the region.

Masks will be mandatory inside the venue and will be enforced.

There is limited space, so I will be looking at cover letters. Fair warning!

I can not wait to see you all, and I look forward to being able to host a wonderful event for you all. Thank you,

Kris Kleinsteuber
