Photo \u00a9 John Brian McCarthy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Philosophy on Mentorship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentorship is being invested in the improvement of others.&nbsp; You spend time, effort, and energy working to help another judge be better and improve their skills, knowledge, and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being invested in another person is a social connection.&nbsp; We believe that these strong social bonds are the core of the judge program.&nbsp; Judges do not judge alone, even when they are the only judge at an event.&nbsp; Judges are always interacting with players, and they have support and assistance available from other members of the judge community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges spend time on other judges.&nbsp; Often in event context we break time into \u201ctime that matters\u201d and \u201ctime that does not\u201d &#8211; specifically time that impacts rounds and players, and time that we can spend that does not impact their event.&nbsp; In the context of mentorship, we can transmute that \u201ctime that does not matter\u201d into time that matters a lot.&nbsp; Spending your event time observing calls, giving feedback, and pushing judges to do a thing they have never done, all while you watch and help, is converting that time into golden moments of value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effort we put into this is visible to mentees.&nbsp; When you carve out brain space and time to write reviews, the recipients remember this.&nbsp; They see that you cared enough to make room for them in your head, then take that and put it forward as actionable and useful feedback.&nbsp; They connect with you more, and the effort can produce more results than what you put in &#8211; a perpetual motion machine of social capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy is intangible.&nbsp; But it is the core of the deep motivation of judges to keep going and to judge events.&nbsp; It\u2019s the intrinsic motivation, the fire that keeps you warm when you are doing your fifteenth deck check of the day and you are just so tired of seeing the same mono-green deck.&nbsp; You can spend that energy both on yourself and on others, and we want our mentors to spend that energy on helping other people across event humps and troublesome situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being invested in the skill level of someone else is hard.&nbsp; It\u2019s oftentimes hard to even be invested in your own skills.&nbsp; Why should you care if a deck check took six minutes or seven?&nbsp; Especially why should you care if that other person took an extra minute?&nbsp; It\u2019s not going to matter, that extension often won\u2019t get used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that sword sharpening, that test if you are bad-acceptable-good-great is important.&nbsp; And it\u2019s important both to improve those skills in other people and to let them know specifically where their skills are.&nbsp; It\u2019s very hard to get an accurate reading on yourself from inside yourself, and help from outside to calibrate is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowledge is the other half of this.&nbsp; There is a famous quote about \u201cunknown unknowns\u201d, referring to things we both don\u2019t know and don\u2019t even know that we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentors can specifically help look into that space.&nbsp; Have you ever worked with a judge and asked yourself something like \u201chow can this judge not know how to deal with a top 8 cut and managing the players?\u201d That judge came from Commander, knows how to build pods and evaluate people to figure out how to get equitable power levels, and just never drafted before.&nbsp; They don\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know, and you can help guide them\u2026 and they can do the same for you when trying to gauge power levels of decks sight unseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of mentees is also a reflection on a mentor.&nbsp; Watching a judge you certified take wing, run their first 80 player event, then certify three people is glorious\u2026 and sometimes this means they supplant you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truly excellent mentors make room for bright sparks to shine, helping them get roles and positions that will maximize their growth and their strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/6_gavin-mfoakland-2019-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Gavin and Tobi at MagicFest Oakland in 2019.

Photo \u00a9 John Brian McCarthy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedback is historically a vital part of the judge program and is how mentors close the loop to do that sword sharpening with their mentees mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A long time ago, there were many more rigorous requirements for reviews.&nbsp; Level up reviews, event reviews, and self reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While review requirements are coming back in our level definitions and our maintenance requirements, we\u2019ve toned down quantity expectations and now look more for quality. We expect every Level Two Judge to be able to provide written feedback, so this is baked into the <a href=\"https:\/\/judgefoundry.org\/articles\/level-two\">requirements for promotion to L2<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>To be promoted to Level Two, a candidate must complete the following requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Write a review of another judge from an event where both judges worked. The review must contain detailed and actionable feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also offer a self-review as an alternate method of demonstrating activity for judges. For example, this is from the <a href=\"https:\/\/judgefoundry.org\/articles\/level-one\">L1 maintenance requirements<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To maintain the Level One certification, a judge must complete the following items each year:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[\u2026]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Choose one \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[\u2026]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Write or receive a short review about their involvement in events or the judging community<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Some say that being required to write a review seems like busy work.&nbsp; And maintenance requirements do require that time and effort mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Judge Foundry we feel like these reviews do something important.&nbsp; They anchor ideas, problems, and positive things in time in a way people can look back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have personally paged through reviews written for me, especially negative ones that illustrate tons of problems and feedback, to see where I was and where I am.&nbsp; My mentors cared about my growth, and gave me accurate feedback in a way I could then later review and use to get better.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve taken that gift, and tried hard to use it to grow in ways that I could not have anticipated before I got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want that unanticipated growth.&nbsp; We want judges that branch out, learn about themselves and others, and can look back later and say \u201cwow, I\u2019ve changed a lot since that event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal with these reviews is to have concrete feedback anchored in time to help build that arc of mentorship, growth, change, and improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authority and Responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I talk a lot about the intersections of authority and responsibility. Mentorship intersects with both authority and responsibility , in a social sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are a judge and part of the community, you are vested with authority.&nbsp; You get treated with respect, and at events you have a lot of power to impact players and judges around you in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that with that authority comes a paired responsibility to try to make that community better, both as a whole and as individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways we can discharge that responsibility is by mentoring others.&nbsp; Helping them to grow, to get better opportunities, and to improve themselves and the communities they are embedded in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we do that, we also grow ourselves.&nbsp; Mentoring someone is more than just improving that person &#8211; it improves you and your connection to them.&nbsp; When you have a web of growing social connections, you are more than just you alone as an island.&nbsp; And you can use these to improve yourself as well.&nbsp; Some of the best reviews and feedback I\u2019ve ever gotten have been reflected back at me by mentees trying to build that connection the other way, and using their responsibility wisely and powerfully to make me better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/judgefoundry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/maria-gpdc-2017-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Maria with an ODE map at Grand Prix DC in 2017.
