Can a judge volunteer and also play in a Summoner Skirmish event?

Ruling: No, a judge cannot participate as a player in a Summoner Skirmish event. Summoner Skirmish is run at Competitive (high) Organized Play Level, and competition officials cannot participate in events at that level.

Nuances:

• Summoner Skirmish is classified as a qualifier event (not premier) because it provides Regional Qualifier byes
• If a competition official participates in an event, it must be run at Casual OPL, but Skirmish cannot be run at Casual level
• Nexus Nights would be an appropriate event level for a judge to both judge and play
• There are 2 skirmishes per set, so judges could potentially play in one and judge the other
