With two more events left to go (Louisville and SCG Con), it’s safe to say that Season One of the SCG Tour has been the most successful in history as attendance continued its steady climb, including another record-breaker in Columbus. Running such an amazing event series wouldn’t be possible without all the great judges that we have the pleasure of working with, and it all starts with our Keystone selections. So here’s our Season Two Keystone selections, including some exciting firsts!<\/p>\n
First-time Open Head Judges: Jonah Kellman and Nik Zitomer<\/p>\n
First-time Classic Head Judges: Adam Blaylock, Max Kahn, Jeff Kruchkow, Daniel Lee, Sam Lewis, Kaitlin McLachlan, Eli Meyer, Justin Purcell, David Rockwood, Gage Robelen, Tobias Vyseri, Chris Wendelboe<\/p>\n
First-time Keystones: Christian Aguilar, Joseph Dunlap, Mikey Elwell, Kyle Evans, Dalton Grimes, Max Kahn, Isaac King, Daniel Lee, Sam Lewis, Mitchell Nitz, Jacen Simon, CoriAnn Theroux, Tobias Vyseri, Matthew Westfox<\/p>\n
We are extra pleased that we were able to fit both of these new L3s into the schedule as Open Head Judges in what are their home events. Joining them is an amazing class of Classic Head Judges with a diverse geographic representation.<\/p>\n
Rather than burying the lede, I want to start with our final event of Season Two and announce that Shawn Doherty will be the Invitational Head Judge at SCG Con Winter! For his Support Judge, the King of the North himself, Rob McKenzie will join us in Roanoke, Virginia.<\/p>\n
