This is a large and long event and we thank you all for your desire to make it great event as well.

We will start at 8AM Thursday (not Friday) July 26th for the grinders. Some of you will be released after to return for the later events that evening. We will have the judge schedule for Thursday and Friday ready prior to the event for your knowledge.

Scott Marshall is Head Judge of US Nationals.
Ingrid Lind-Jahn is Head Judge the MSS Championship.

Steve Port of Legion Events will be managing side-events. We will assign a team-lead position to side events to coordinate judge staff for the events each day. We fully expect to rotate nearly all the judges between the main events and side-events, so expect to work a day on each event and another at side-events.

As we must man side-events during Judge Dinner I'll be asking for volunteers to stay behind before having to assign judges.

There are 50+ judges attending. Please take time to talk with judges from different areas and learn how things are different elsewhere. If you are seeking advancement at this show or in coming months I encourage you to speak to higher-level judges in attendance for input and encourage them to officially make the comments in the Judge Center.

Anyone not familiar with the Judge Center should login before this show (http://judge.wizards.com/) as you'll be expected to write reviews after. I encourage you to look over recent articles as well.

Details on arranging travel and the location of the hotel will follow after April 9th.

Thanks!
Andy
