BREAKS:

[BREAK TIMES] Covered by [JUDGE COVERING]

While your breaks are defined above, please be aware that they may end up changing day-of. Before you leave on break, please check in with Dom and ensure that any tasks you are currently in the middle of are passed off to someone else.

For your half round break, there isn't specific assigned coverage, find someone adjacent to you and have them watch your event while you're gone. Dom can help with this task. 


GENERAL TASKS:

For this event it will not be uncommon for each judge to have several events they are watching at once. You are responsible for launching the events assigned to you, I will likely be able to help with product distribution and starting table number, if for some reason I am not available, please communicate with the scorekeeper and launch the event. When launching an event you will need to do several things: 
You will need to get a starting table number 
You will need to ensure you have Eventlink Access to your event
You will get an info sheet with the information about your event
You will need to find an appropriate pairings board and put a cover sheet with round end times on it on the board
You will need to move the gathering point to the pairings board
You will need to get tickets and promos if your event has those
You will need to get any event-specific items (decklists for comp REL limited, or product)
Make an announcement for the first round of your event (note the gathering point that the event is located at)
Get pairings from the scorekeeper

FLEXIBILITY:

Be ready to change plans. Things happen, and we have people to be flexible. Otherwise, we could just program robots to run events for us. Follow the plan, but be ready to jump into some other tasks if your lead tells you to.


Don't blindly follow instructions. If you need help, ask for it. If you need a bathroom break, ask someone around you to cover your floor. Help people around you, if they need a break. Drink water! Listen to yourself, don't overwork, and don't get dehydrated.


For the times when you're not running an event or designated to a specific task, I encourage you to look around and see if there are any under-serviced areas and help out, failing that feel free to contact me at any time if you need a designation and I'm sure I can find you somewhere you can help!


Thanks for staying with me until the end of this email! I'm looking forward to working with you soon.
