<\/span><\/span>‘ write up all about it, and check out the links to twelve of the presentations!<\/li>\n
- We have two new Area Reps and one new area<\/strong><\/a>! Turns out, Downstate New York was a bit too large, so it’s been cut in two! Long Island is one area, with myself, Christopher Rumore<\/a>
<\/span><\/span>, as the new Rep. New York City is the other, with Adam Eidelsafy<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> and Chase Culpon<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> as Co-Reps. Sam Nathanson<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> has stepped down through this process, but he will always be the Downstate Area Rep in our hearts. \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n
- Jason Lemahieu<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> has taken a step down from being a Program Coordinator<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>In his place, Alfonso Bueno<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> has stepped in! Congratulations to Alfonso!<\/li>\n
- Spheres are back<\/a><\/strong>!… kind of. A new system has been put into place to find leaders for categories of Judge Projects, and, although they’re a bit different than what spheres were, we’re calling them spheres! Check out Toby<\/a>
<\/span><\/span>‘s post explaining everything and introducing the sphere leaders!<\/li>\n
- There are seven new Regional Coordinators<\/a><\/strong> that have been selected! One for each of Benelux, Canada, China, Japan, Russian-Speaking-Countries, USA-South, and USA-Southwest!<\/li>\n

Northeast Blog Highlights<\/h2>\n
- \n
- Bearz<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> have swapped blogs this month! :O<\/li>\n
- Over on The Feedback Loop, Bearz discusses failure in his Radical Candor Workshop<\/a><\/strong> article. This article gives a short summary of what his conference presentation entailed.<\/li>\n
- On Bearz Repeating, Riki discusses his experiences running in the Anthem Richmond Marathon in Riki Runs<\/a><\/strong>. He relates the possibility of failure in running the marathon to the possibility of failure in aspects of judging. It’s certainly worth a read!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tournament Report Highlights<\/h2>\n
- \n
- This month we have a well written tournament report from Adam Stadelman<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> from a PPTQ in Buffalo<\/a><\/strong>. To use his own words, the tournament was\u00a0“fairly mundane,” but they also had a head judge and two floor judges for twenty three players.<\/li>\n
- Riva Arecol<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> posted a tournament report from a Star City Games Super IQ<\/a><\/strong>. Another smooth tournament, but even the smoothest of Modern tournaments has at least one call about Spellskite!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
