Hello judges!

I’m pleased to announce that I’m running an in-person mock tournament to help judges gain firsthand knowledge of Competitive REL events.

We will be simulating a Comp REL tournament with the help of multiple volunteers acting as players, Team Leads, and a HJ. Over the course of the day, we will go through each facet of a Comp REL event.

Participants will be rotating through roles as the various teams. They will learn how to prepare for a Comp REL tournament, how to make announcements, how to handle deck checks with actual decks to check, how to handle the floor, and receive lots of feedback on investigations and rulings.

We will need judges to act as players, judges to act as team leads/the HJ, and judges to act as judges.

As a sign of appreciation, we are allowed to offer attendees a selection of promotional foil cards. The exact packet is not known at this time, but I expect that it will consist of the Q1 ’23 promotional cards.

These foils are available if you meet the following criteria:
-Register for the conference by applying to this event.
-Be a certified (Level 1 or higher) Judge with a correct level at the time you apply, or if you certify after applying, email me at jason.riendeau@gmail.com with your updated level.
-Fill out at least 2 Flash Feedback cards for others at this event

Schedule:
Team Leads/HJ – 11:00 call time
Players and judges – 11:30 call time

The tournament will start at 12:00 noon, and it will conclude around 4:30 in the afternoon. There will be 3 rounds and short post-round debriefings.

If you are a player, please be sure to bring a Pioneer deck.
