We need to be careful making the right selection to better serve the event needs, and to provide players a great experience.<\/p>\n
Now, how does the game work?<\/p>\n
Each applicant (see the bottom of this article for the full list) has a Mana Cost<\/a> that will be relevant for your staff selection.<\/p>\n For example Giorgos has a Mana Cost of We need to staff 10 judges: 1 Head Judge, 1 Scorekeeper, 2 Team Leads, and 6 Floor Judges. There are some requisites the selected staff has to meet:<\/p>\n Each applicant will have some points assigned for each of the possible staff roles. This means that when you select someone for a specific role you will accrue the points for that role only.<\/p>\n Let’s see some hypothetical examples (these are not the actual points for these judges!):<\/p>\n If you select Giorgos as your Head Judge, Yakup as a Team Lead, and Abdulrahman as Scorekeeper, you’d get a total of 23 points, which sounds great. However, if you select Giorgos as Scorekeeper, Yakup as Floor Judge, and Abdulrahman as Team Lead you’d only get 7 points. Not the best choice of roles,\u00a0don’t you think?<\/p>\n But this game won’t be that easy, of course! The game will start with\u00a0the scores of each applicant for each role being secret, we are publishing below the list of applicants without their scores. I will contact each applicant so each of them\u00a0decide what are their own scores –\u00a0I won’t be releasing that information in full. In the example above I’d ask Yakup to distribute 12 points among the four roles, and what I will be asking of applicants is to assign more points to the role they think will be better at, and less to those roles where they think they’d not perform well. Judges should score themselves higher on those roles that, if the were staffed as such, would\u00a0benefit the event the most.<\/p>\n Now, here comes the fun part: you can publicly discuss your selection, talk to other applicants to find out what their scores are, share or exchange information, etc. You can do whatever\u00a0you think it’s appropriate\u00a0in order to be a better informed Judge Manager, so you can make the optimal\u00a0selection for each role. Knowledge is power, and the more you know about the applicants the better chances you get of making the optimal selection!<\/p>\n Some information for you to consider:<\/p>\n Are you having fun already?<\/p>\n Contestants should submit before Sunday 19th June at midnight GMT\u00a0through the below Google Form<\/a> their proposals for staffing this event – remember the full list of applicants is at the bottom of this same page! Illegal submissions (combined Converted Mana Cost greater than 25, not enough devotion, etc.) will be discarded. The submission that accrues the most points wins the game, that simple.<\/p>\n There will be some prizes, according to Giorgos these will be “tangible things that you may brag about”. Everyone is welcome to participate, although if you’re not a certified judge of the\u00a0Europe \u2013 East region you won’t be eligible for any prizes.<\/p>\n![\"Giorgos](\"http:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/europeeast\/files\/2016\/05\/Giorgos-Trichopoulos-215x300.jpg\")
