Recently, our judging staff count has been reduced to just six (including site admins). So we currently really could do well with some new additions to the judging staff. Thus, I am hereby putting out a request for people to volunteer to become a judge.
We are looking into the following for potential new judges:
- A person that is reasonably well known in the community, and is in good standing with the community
- Being reasonably active as a site member, preferably on IRC as well
- A good command of the English language - at least enough to prevent unnecessary misgivings
- Must be able to run movies on commonly used emulators including BizHawk, lsnes, FCEUX, VBA-rr and the like. Alternatively, must be able to attempt and run movies on more exotic and less stable emulators, including Dolphin or Hourglass. Judges need to be able to play back movies on emulator to verify sync, which can be difficult at times on the latter emulators.
- A player with at least a few published runs (the old 1000+ player points rule is not a requirement, but it is a plus). Experience with various different emulators and TAS tools is also a big plus.
- Be familiar with the site's movie rules, tiers, and how those are applied by judges for submissions.
- Ability to adhere to the Judge Guidelines.
If you are interested to volunteer and potentially become a judge, please send me a PM.
