JudgeCast #377 – In college, I Majored in Aggressive Behavior with a Minor in Unsporting Conduct.

Posted on by

The best part of Magic is The Gathering, the people. However, the people can often be the worst part as well. In tournaments, judges dont just deal with mistakes and miscommunication. We also deal with misbehaving, misanthropes, and miscreants.

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we take a meander through the jerky parts of Unsporting Conduct. We talk about USC-Minor, Major, Aggressive Behavior, and Theft. We discuss how to recognize the infractions, what the penalties are, how to deal with them, and how to make sure that we provide players a safe environment to enjoy their favorite game, (or at least the game they have spent so much money on, they cant afford to start playing another)

JudgeCast #97 – Sky Is Not Falling Edition – L2 Redefinition and New IPG

Posted on by

There’s been so much happening over the past few weeks!

On this episode the judgefellas have special guest Justin Turner (L3 and RC) on to talk about some big changes to the judge program.

We go into the L2 redefinition in depth. Why did it change, what do L1s looking to become L2 need to do now, and even what do existing L2s need to do to remain L2?

We also cover the new IPG. Listen to exciting changes/clarifications to Improper Draw at Start of Game, Game Rule Violation, Deck/Decklist Problem, and the expanded and upgraded version of Unsporting Conduct – Major
