Floor Judge to Team Leading - End of Round.

End of Round as a Mentoring Tool.


In this post, I want to talk about how you can use End of Round as a mentoring tool to judges who have little to no experience with Team Leading. 

End of Round is a great tool for giving new and inexperienced judges a chance to work on the skills that are seen in a good leader. It helps a judge gain confidence, lets them work with all judges on the floor, and gives them a better understanding of delegation.

I have used this method at multiple PTQs and SCG Opens as a mentoring tool and I have received positive feedback every time. What I do is write out the steps of EoR and put it on a clipboard so the judge running EoR can have it as a reference. For future events, I plan on printing and laminating a copy so I can have it with me for every event.
