I'm DraftAnon from last night, and just got back from my first event.
It went really well, but it was weird and small. We had six people total, so there was only one pod. I won all but one games, because I ended up getting monowhite and four Ambuscade, along with some great bombs.
However, in my last game, I had a rules question, and when I checked it on my own, I realized the judge miscalled the interaction. I wasn't sure if Act of Heroism could target an untapped card, and wanted to ask about it. The judge said it couldn't, but there's a clear ruling about it. In the future, if there's something a judge calls wrong, what do I do? I feel kind of guilty, since the difference was a huge swing.
Let's see if I can post with a fucking subject this time, christ.

wat?

Step 1: appeal. Even in a small event, a judge responding to your judgecall can be a trainee or freshly-minted L1 working with an oversight. Politely state that you want to appeal a ruling, if possible and wait for them to summon the headjudge.
Step 2: if you are sure they are making a wrong call, tell them so politely and ask them to reconsider and check the gatherer. Most judges will oblige. If that takes longer than a 3-5 minutes, don't forget to ask for a time extention afterwards.
Step 3: if there is noone to appeal to and they insist that the ruling is correct, their word is final. You can complain about the wrong ruling after the tounrnament ends.

Also comes to mind, although I've never seen that happen -- you can ask to see Gatherer for the card and scroll down to the Rulings part. For your Act of Heroism example there is a ruling right there:
27/06/2017 Act of Heroism can target an untapped creature. It still gets +2/+2 and can block an additional creature.
Not sure if that is completely within the expected player-judge interaction during the call but you can always ask your judge if it's OK. Was I the judge called I'd be fine with that but my training was a long time ago.

I'm going to bump every single limited thread I see until I become so obnoxious that /tg/ has no choice but to acknowledge the existence of limited as a thing.

It's fun and doesn't make me spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to play the game I like.
Also drafting is skill based in a way that picking good cards to purchase isn't. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep drafting.
