JudgeCast #138B – The Great Judge Suspension [Explicit Language]

Warning: Explicit language in this one

As promised, we dedicate this episode entirely to Bryan and CJ’s judge suspension. We cover what happened, discuss why we didn’t report anything, and where we are today.

If you’re more interested in fancy book-learnin’, then this episode is not for you. That’s why #138A is released at the exact same time! Give it a listen.

JudgeCast #138A – Legends of the Hidden Card Error

A new IPG is out, and with it some new changes!

The most major is Hidden Card Error, which we cover in detail here. What is it? When to apply it? And examples galore abound!

There are also some small tweaks to GRV and D/DLP, and we cover those as well.

Toby released two articles on the changes:
