Saturday Sept 10th I judged my first regional in St. Louis Missouri. It was the smoothest regional I've ever been to. We had 176 people with 8 rounds of Swiss and a cut to top 4. My best friend Jesse was the head judge and the one who talked me into judging and there were 6 other floor judges there as well. All the judges got along really well and overall I gave about 30 rulings, picked up what seemed like a thousand match slips and only had one appeal. The appeal went in my favor because it was on weather or not Solemn Judgment can stop the summon of a Gale with Monster Reborn. They didn't understand that once gale hit the field it was to late and that they could only negate the Reborn not the summon of gale because Reborn was still resolving. My girlfriend judged as well, she took care of dragon duels and a lot of deck checks and paper work. So in the end we each got 15$ and 24 packs. I pulled pretty good between the 48 packs me and Reh got. Pulled a Pain painter, Ulti Leviair, 2 Aero Shark, and some other randoms. Traded some off for a ghost Leviathan Dragon and a Lost Blue Breaker. The new Banifish decks are a lot of fun. Anyway I will be judging again it sounds like and hopefully Judging Nats this year if I keep doing well judging there. So if you have any odd ruelings questions hit me up I need the practice still.
