  • Try to write down something interesting from each round so you can share with other judges and have something to look back on after the event.<\/li>\n
  • Take breaks often, don\u2019t wear yourself out.<\/li>\n
  • Spend a lot of time talking to other judges, they\u2019re good resources \u2013 build a strong community.<\/li>\n
  • Watch a lot of matches. Spend a few minutes at a game then walk around. It allows people to know you\u2019re there and feel comfortable with you around.<\/li>\n
  • On breaks, enjoy yourself \u2013 talk with people, artist. (make sure to take your shirt off) Don\u2019t be a loner!!!<\/li>\n
  • (for newer judges) Try to head judge side events. It will give you real time experience with other resources around so that it will prepare you for judging at your local shop.<\/li>\n
