Giorgos helped me greatly during my judge career, but recently it was during my L3 certification. He went through all relevant documents with me giving me tips. Most notably, he went through IPG discussing philosophy which helped me a lot. And for that (and many more), I thank you. Ivan |

George has organised his first regional conference as a new RC and it was awesome in all perspectives. We enjoyed ourselves at nice beaches, learned something new at well scheduled seminars and got to know eachother over good food and social activities. |

Leading the team for sleep-in specials at GP Milan, you not only managed that assignment, but made sure to analyze the tasks in an attempt to improve and facilitate smoother future executions. This sharing of your experiences is quite inspiring and indeed worthy of praise! |
| To Iva Kleiner, L2 from Europe – East Recognized by Damian Hiller, L4 |
Iva! Always cheerful even in stressful times, willing to help and with a positive attitude. Our blog launch owes you much, perhaps not so much in work-hours (though there were quite some) but in your predisposition to help and listen to crazy requests. I’m honored to count with you on the team! |
| To Ivan Lendvaj, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Ivan Petkovic, L3 |

| To Nejc Juric, L2 from Europe – East Recognized by Steven Zwanger, L3 |
As a last-minute replacement for the DC TL at SCG Columbus, you had no time to prepare in advance and didn’t even know you were TL until that morning, but nonetheless you were organized and efficient, and made sure your team accomplished all its tasks, both counting lists and performing deck checks. |
| To Nir Levy, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Giorgos Trichopoulos, L3 |
Nir I want to regognize your passion and devotion to the program. You have planned your trip to Greece from Israel, for our conference.

| To Rami Abdo, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Giorgos Trichopoulos, L3 |

| To Samo Seljak, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Jernej Lipovec, L3 |
His skills as a judge and an organizer were the reason Slovenia got a new Magic community in a city (Idrija) that previously didn’t have one. He also helped the local store to reach Core level and to offer Magic players even more events. |
| To Stjepko Petrušić, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Ivan Petkovic, L3 |
Stjepko was one of most eager L1 candidates I have ever had. After finishing his certification, he joined to a Conference photos project I am running where he is driving the project forward. For that I thank you Stjepko. Ivan |
| To Tomaž Pollak, L1 from Europe – East Recognized by Jernej Lipovec, L3 |
Tomaž has been running local tournaments in Ljubljana twice a week consistently for several years now even though our store dont provide any compensation. He has grown both as person and as a judge and is an L1 I wish we had in every store. |
