Additionally, I judged for RPGA so often that I almost never had new players, even when traveling all over the region for cons. The only time I met more than one or two new players with high level characters (the ones with options you needed to know about) was at big cons like GenCon. So no, it was not the problem you think it is. Inexperienced judges run tables for low-level characters so that they can familiarize themselves with the rules of the game and experience the many options players have at their disposal so that by the time they graduate to running mid-level stuff they are already familiar with all the tricks of low-level play and so on for when they graduate to running high-level stuff. It would be ludicrous to ask an inexperienced judge to run even a group of 8th and 9th level characters unless you knew the judge already had a lot of experience as a player and was very familiar with the supplemental rulebooks to the core rules.</p></blockquote><p></p>
