Judges
Judges are required for the event and the judge cannot play in the event. Stores must provide a person experienced in judging trading card game events and who is playing the Disney Lorcana TCG. Certified judges are preferred though not required.
Based on the above, it appears that the judge program for the Disney Lorcana TCG may not be ready in time for the Into the Inklands Championship as this event only requires you judges who are experienced in judging TCGs in general, and there is no mention of an official Disney Lorcana judge certification at this time.
Aside from the set championships, Disney Lorcana Challenges are due to begin in May 2024 which award invites to the North American and European Championships. More details for this event are due in March 2024.
