Any Judges on the forums?
I was wondering if any of the Forum members were DCI judges? I need to get ready to take the exam on Sept. 19th (the second day of the ChK Prerelease). I took it at the Fifth Dawn prerelease, but I did not pass - The judge said I had been playing "too long" - all the questions I answered incorrectly would have been right several years (and rules changes) ago.

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
I know judges do read this as I have spoken with them before on the site. I don't believe any activate members are active judges though. By active I mean someone who posts here regularly. I could be wrong though.

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
I was the same way with WizKids. They left a bad taste in my mouth. I used to be head Warlord here in Chicago and helped organize all their bigger events for staff needs. I know exactly how you feel. It's a thankless job at best....I'm a former judge so I'm no help. :-[

I don't know about the judge's in your area, but around here the judges are more like tyrants - they don't put up with crap from anyone....I'm a former judge so I'm no help. Â :-[

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
In my case, it was the store I worked the Tourneys for. They thought everyone should be treated like a winner and rules were guidelines of how players could play.

They don't host events any more. ;D

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
At our tournaments, there are usually 600+ people, and a dozen or less judges, so...

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
Hey Van,
Send me a tyrant Level 3 or 4 judge.
The person who runs the large pre-re's has some incompetent fools working under him.
When you see Onslaught cards in a 5th Dawn sealed and the judges don't do anything, you have a tendency to be ticked off.
I'd much rather deal with some one who will enforce the rules, than some kid that got the job by riding a lazy judges coattails.
Rampant cheating with no enforcement at 5th Dawn pre-re and Regionals - Pomona,California.
Complaints were ignored. They guy who ran it was more interested in overcharging sealeds and drafts.
BTW: Make sure you know the current ruling(s) on Humilty and it's effect, or lack of.

Re: Any Judges on the forums?
thanks for the tip.
I'd hate to go to tournaments there. Here, the judges all carry megaphones, and everything is organized from laptops at the front table.
