Historical Article<\/h3><\/div>

This article was written during the time between when Judge Foundry was announced and when we launched. While we’re keeping it live (for transparency and historical purposes, as well as to elucidate our philosophy), some of our policies and requirements might have changed. For the most current version of the process to advance to and maintain Level Two, see this page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of new level definitions continues this week with the presentation of Judge Foundry Level Two. We received a ton of great feedback on L1 last week, and it has already made an impact. Please continue to send that our way on JudgeApps<\/a>, Reddit<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> or via email<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Level Two Judges are more commonly found at large and competitive events. A Level Two Judge knows the basics of competitive tournament policy and runs small in-store competitive tournaments on their own. L2s certify judge candidates for L1 in their home store or local area to ensure that the local judge community continues to flourish. At a large event, many L2s will be answering judge calls on the floor of competitive events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An L2 should start looking towards L3 when they are comfortable with Competitive REL. For some, this will mean when they are regularly head judging in-store competitive events with two or more floor judges. For others, it will mean they have attended several large events and are familiar with the tasks expected of a floor judge of an event with teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advancement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Candidates for Level Two need to show a higher level of skill, knowledge, and involvement than is expected for Level One Judges. The tasks for L2 will generally be completed at competitive events like RCQs at local game stores, but some candidates working at large events will also complete their requirements there. The exams are the final step in the advancement process. Other than that, these requirements don\u2019t need to be finished in order, but they are presented in a rough order in which a candidate might commonly experience them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be promoted to Level Two, a candidate must complete the following requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

1. Write a review of another judge from an event where both judges worked. The review must contain detailed and actionable feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

One of Judge Foundry\u2019s core values is feedback, and the beginning of the L2 advancement process is where judges need to demonstrate their ability to give feedback to their peers. This review doesn\u2019t need to be extensive (think 200 to 400 words), but it should identify some strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed judge and actionable feedback for any areas of improvement. <\/em>This is an example of a good review<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

2. Under the supervision of an L2+, work at least two Competitive REL events<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

A candidate needs to work some Competitive REL events, and will need a recommendation review, so those need to be observed by a Judge Foundry L2. This doesn\u2019t mean the L2 or the candidate needs to be the head judge, or even run the event, the L2 needs to be present at the event with the candidate to observe and provide feedback. These events need not have the same L2+ supervisor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

3. Receive a recommendation review from an L2+, evaluating at minimum the following qualities and affirming that the candidate is ready for Level Two:<\/strong><\/p>\n
