Ready to learn all about the start of Wave 5? \u00a0I sure am! But first some quick administrative updates on some of the earlier waves.<\/p>\n

Wave 2 Make-up Mailings!<\/b><\/p>\n

As a reminder, due to the number of mailing issues with wave 2, Wizards of the Coast agreed to resend mailings that were lost or stolen. \u00a0Information has already been collected and sent to Wizards. \u00a0Mailings will be going out “soon<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

a<\/div>\n

Exemplar Wave 3 Mailings!<\/b><\/p>\n

Judging by social media, mailings have been trickling out for the past few weeks. \u00a0Starting with Wave 3, and continuing with Wave 4 and all future waves, your Regional Coordinator will be serving as the distribution hub for any Exemplar related mailings. \u00a0This means that having your region correct in Judgeapps should be important to you.<\/p>\n

Exemplar Wave 4!<\/b><\/p>\n

So, turns out adding a lot of slots added a lot of nominations. \u00a0Almost double last wave. There is a huge volume of positive nominations that I can’t wait to share, but I’m going to have to. Double the nominations also means double to work. \u00a0We have added a few more people to the Exemplar Team to help deal with this increased volume, and have completed the initial review of the nominations and are now in the process of contacting people if their nomination needs a revision. \u00a0If you are contacted, please do not delay in responding to these emails. \u00a0The release of Wave 4 nominations is directly related to how quickly these issues are resolved.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, when Wave 4 is posted, foils will also be sent directly to your RC at the same time we start collecting addresses. \u00a0This is to save time. \u00a0It is very important that your region be accurate in JudgeApps.<\/strong>\u00a0Do that now. If you live in Bolivia, but your region is the United Kingdom, then you are going to have a bad time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exemplar Wave 5!<\/b><\/p>\n

Now the part you care about! \u00a0If you are reading this then Wave 5 is open for business. \u00a0Wave 5 is going to function very similarly to Wave 4. \u00a0There is a slight change to the schedule though; we are attempting to go to one wave every 3 months as opposed to one wave every 4 months. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, the end of this wave will be 23:59 PST May 1st<\/strong> (that’s a Sunday)<\/p>\n

The slot breakdown is unchanged from Wave 4. It seems to have been a popular change, and we want to gather data from another round to see if it’s working to bring in the hoped-for number of nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

As a brief reminder in what we are looking for in a nomination. We will have another article in the near future on what makes a good\/bad nominations, but a brief summary is : A nomination is intended to be public recognition of actions or behaviors of a judge that are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Meaningful to you or the Judge Community<\/li>\n
  • ‘Above and Beyond’ expectations for a judge of that level<\/li>\n
  • Can be described<\/li>\n
  • Can be emulated by other judges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If your nomination can meet this criteria, you’ve written a good nomination and we want it! \u00a0Fortunately, you can start writing them RIGHT NOW! \u00a0You don’t even have to wait till the deadline sneaks up on you and you have to scramble at the last minute.<\/p>\n

    Well, that\u2019s all I have for this update. Check back in the next few weeks when we update our Anatomy of a Nomination article.<\/span><\/p>\n
