Hello everyone,

Star City Events will be hosting a judge's conference on Saturday August 7th in Roanoke VA at the Star City Game Center for UDE judges and players interested in becoming judges.

Alex Charsky from Upper Deck Entertainment will be present to teach and administer judge tests. Currently the tests being offered are the Yu-Gi-Oh! Level 2 and 3 tests. As additional tests become available we will post that information.

Classes Overview
Judge Skills 101; What are your responsibilities as a judge? How should you conduct yourself on the floor? We will begin with a round-table discussion about judging philosophy and generic judging skills. Game specific topics will not be discussed, though some examples may be used.

Judge Skills 201; How do you fix a procedural error? How do you deal with an unsportsmanlike player? This class will cover various intermediate/advanced judging issues using a variety of role-playing scenarios.

MANTIS; Knowing how MANTIS works is key to running a successful event. We will cover basic MANTIS operation and discuss solutions to some common mistakes.

How to Head Judge a Smooth Event; This class will teach you everything you need to know in order to head judge a premier event.

Star City Events procedure; Throughout the years, Star City Events has develop a series of systems and procedures in order to ensure that each of our events runs smoothly. In this class, we’ll teach you everything you need to know in order to successfully run a premier event for Star City!

Please send any comments/questions/suggestions to me at [email protected]

While this conference is free, we need people to tell us in advance if they will be there in addition to the test(s) that they desire to take. Not all tests may be available, I will provide additional details as I have them.

I would love to see transcripts or maybe even videos posted of this event (since it is too far away for me to attend). Wish we had things like this in the Midwest.

Matt

Will Star City be coming back to Kentucky with Vs. PCQ's for Gen Con So Cal?

Will someone run one of these in the Midwest (for me) and our brothers and sisters on the West Coast?
