It\u2019s time to answer another one of the questions we\u2019ve been getting asked frequently: what are the dues to be a member of Judge Foundry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can skip to the part of this article that directly answers that question (do a CTRL-F for \u201cthe part with the specifics\u201d), but we\u2019d like to talk about finances in a general sense first, so you can get an idea of where your dues will go and why we need to charge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being a judge used to not cost money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that’s not entirely true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judging has always cost money, however that cost was mostly invisible to the average judge.  Tests just existed.  Websites were just there.  An infrastructure was already provided. There were already places to go to read articles or apply for events, grind practice tests, or publicly praise another judge for exemplary behavior.  But whether judges used judge.wizards.com, dcifamily.org, internationalmagicjudges.net, or apps.magicjudges.org there have always been fees and administrative costs shouldered by a combination of companies or individual contributors that the average judge was unaware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Times changed.  With the end of the Judge Program, Judge Academy came to replace it and many judges were suddenly made aware of a lot of the services they had previously just received for free suddenly cost money. Judge Academy had expenses – full-time employees, lawyers to parse international law, website designers who couldn\u2019t work for free. Judge Academy had to start charging dues to be a certified judge. This amount changed from year to year as Judge Academy struggled to find a budget that could maintain a largely invisible global infrastructure while providing more visible\/tangible perks to members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us to today, or more accurately, to the very near future when Judge Foundry officially launches and starts collecting dues<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I get for my money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a question we\u2019ve been asked in various forms, at events and online, since we announced that we\u2019d be collecting dues to fund our operations. We\u2019ll try to answer it here, and we want to be clear that this is the answer for today – as time goes on, opportunities open up, and organized play changes, we expect to see benefits change and new benefits become available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s start with this: you get a legal organization of which you can be a member. Being a legal organization is a big deal, because it means that Judge Foundry can negotiate with entities, sign contracts, and own things, unlike the pre-Judge Academy judge program that didn\u2019t have any legal status. As a 501(c)(6) nonprofit business league, Judge Foundry must collect a substantial portion of our funding from members. That\u2019s the IRS talking, not us – legally, a business league needs to be funded by the businesses whose conditions it\u2019s improving. Even in a world where a judge wins the lottery and decides to perpetually fund Judge Foundry, we\u2019ll still have to charge some nominal dues to remain a nonprofit (note: if you won the lottery and would like to perpetually fund Judge Foundry, please email us<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that legal organization, you get a stake. Every member can vote on major program initiatives. Every member can vote for our board of directions to set the agenda for the next year. Every member can participate in discussions about the future of the organization, and have the respect of other members as a peer and an equal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may not sound like much, but to us, it\u2019s everything. We\u2019ve never tried a judge program owned by the judge community before, and we think that this experiment will create a better experience for judges, tournament organizers, publishers and players than anything we\u2019ve tried before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second thing that your dues get you is the privilege of calling yourself a member of Judge Foundry and a Foundry-certified Judge. That title is only as meaningful as the organization backing it, and our commitment to quality ensures that tournament organizers and players will recognize the value that certification brings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dues are your investment in the organization, but they\u2019re also a connection to an important part of your identity. Judges are proud of our history and culture, and by paying your dues each month, you\u2019re ensuring that that history will continue and that future judges will be able to follow in your footsteps. Judging has made so many of us richer in spirit than we could have ever thought possible when we first took a rules test. Being a member of Judge Foundry helps others follow you on their own journeys of self-improvement and fellowship through judging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third thing you get for your dues is a platform to support judging. Judge technology is built off the volunteer work of judges, but there are some things that can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t be paid for by volunteer labor. Website servers cost money, and the kind of hosting we need is a little more involved than what we can get on Geocities. We have to pay a number of government filing fees each year, and we also need to pay accountants to ensure that our filings are accurate. And while no judge wants to hear the words \u201cWe talked to our lawyers\u2026,\u201d for some things, we do need to talk to lawyers, and lawyers are really expensive. Finally, there are a number of fundraising costs, like credit card fees and payment portals, that take their cut if we use any dues-paying method more sophisticated than a tip jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all that infrastructure, though, your dues unlock a vast web of volunteer-provided resources. Judges have always shown a remarkable willingness to share their knowledge to help other judges, and your dues make it possible to provide a platform to enable that. Have you ever consulted the Annotated IPG to help you understand policy? You were benefiting from the contributions of dozens of judges, from those who wrote the annotations to those who maintain and update them to the judges who set up Judge Blogs to the judges who provided feedback to improve the final product. And while you might say that even non-members are already getting that, that may not always be the case, and certainly isn\u2019t the case for the many projects that fell fallow during the Judge Academy era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we announced Judge Foundry, the exploratory committee has been inundated with questions from judges, asking if their favorite projects are coming back. From Anniversaries to Welcome to the Fold, judges are eager to contribute to and enjoy the fruits of the efforts of their peers again. Your dues make that happen by providing the infrastructure in which we can make that happen, and as a nonprofit organization, we\u2019re excited to welcome back those volunteer contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth thing that your dues provide is community. That includes an online community (with our new website launching soon, plus various social media communities), but more importantly, we\u2019ll be providing in-person community opportunities. We\u2019re presently targeting two dedicated get-togethers a year. The first is our annual meeting, every fall, where a new board is elected and where we report on the past, present, and future of the organization. This two-day event (which will move around from year to year, and have opportunity for remote attendee participation) will provide training and fellowship opportunities on top of all the official business, and we expect it to be the biggest judge party of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also targeting a series of \u201cregional mega-conferences\u201d each spring. These conferences (which we also expect to move around from year to year) will provide additional chances for judges to get together, share knowledge, network and have fun. These conferences will also provide prime opportunities for judges to connect with mentors and to participate in promotion interviews. Additionally we want to make sure they provide good area coverage for judges throughout the United States and Canada. Judge Foundry will be paying most of the costs of hosting these conferences to keep them accessible for judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of that is what you\u2019re getting for paying your dues to Judge Foundry each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don\u2019t you get money from someone else?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know that judges would rather not be the only ones paying to make Judge Foundry happen, and we\u2019ve been exploring alternative revenue sources. However, these relationships will take time to bear fruit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judges are the ones who can best understand the value of Judge Foundry and who will benefit most from it. Our mandate is helping judges improve their business conditions – the training and certification we provide makes judges better at judging. We understand that everyone else in the tabletop ecosystem also benefits from judges – a judge certified in having the qualities Judge Foundry values is so much more than just a person who passed a rules test, and they can provide better experiences for tournament organizers, publishers and players. We are actively working to bring in revenue from other entities, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other ancillary sources of revenue we\u2019re also considering – you\u2019ll read about one of them in the very next section. If you\u2019ve got an idea, please email us<\/a>, because we\u2019d love to hear it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We designed our budget so that we can be self-sufficient using just dues payments. Everything we can bring in on top of that (such as the aforementioned lottery winner\u2019s donation) will go on to making our program better. We have a ton of great ideas on how we could spend more money to improve Judge Foundry\u2019s offerings, and we\u2019ll continue working to make those ideas happen. But in the meantime, we wanted to ensure that Judge Foundry would be most accountable to its members and securing our self-sufficiency by doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uniform Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While this update is mostly about dues, there is a related topic that we need to address, since we\u2019re talking about revenue, and that\u2019s judge uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadly, Judge Foundry has heard your desire for us to make uniforms available, and we\u2019re on it. We\u2019ve been researching vendors and determining requirements, and hope to have specifics to share with you on this topic very soon. Our current plan is to make available a Judge Foundry dress shirt (similar to the Magic Judges dress shirt), a Judge Foundry polo shirt (similar to the regional judge polos), and a nametag (similar to\u2026 all the various nametags). We\u2019re open to additional merch as well – these were just the three things about which we\u2019ve been hearing the most requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason we\u2019re bringing it up here is that it\u2019s related to dues in a few ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we wanted to make sure you\u2019re aware that this is in the works. That doesn\u2019t mean to stop asking us – just the opposite! If you have merch ideas, please let us know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, we are making judge gear a part of our revenue model. We looked at providing judge shirts at cost and increasing dues, but we felt that this model was more fair and should be just as sustainable. We\u2019ll continue to look for other revenue sources that will let us reduce dues or provide you with more value in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And third (this is the biggest reason we\u2019re previewing this announcement today), we\u2019ll be offering a bundled package for judges to pre-pay a year\u2019s dues and get a nametag and either a dress shirt or a polo, specifically designed for judges who are newly certifying or who are leveling up (and this includes the bevy of promotions we expect with launch). This package will come with a slight discount, to get judges entering a new role the outfit they need to look their best while doing their best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be talking a lot more about merch (including pictures and prices) in a future post, once we have everything lined up. But in the meantime, let\u2019s go back to talking about dues\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The part with the specifics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you read everything up until here or just jumped to this section, you\u2019re ready to see the price tag:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the launch of Judge Foundry, dues will be $5 US\/$7 CAD per month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Judge Foundry membership will cost less than you\u2019d pay for ten days of Netflix or a grande cinnamon dolce latte at Starbucks or the airport pickup surcharge for an Uber from DCA or a gallon of gas in Sacramento or 9% of a pair of judge pants or a single set booster<\/s> play booster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the price for every member, irrespective of level, experience or role. Members of the board will pay the same dues as brand new judges and people who\u2019ve been judging since there were zebra-striped shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dues and other contributions to Judge Foundry aren\u2019t tax-deductible, but they might be a business expense you can write off – check with your accountant. As we noted in the previous section, we\u2019ll be offering a discounted bundle with a year\u2019s dues + apparel as an option to new and newly promoted judges as a sort of combination of \u201ccongratulations\u201d and \u201cit\u2019s dangerous to go alone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that $5 per month is a number that\u2019s both fair and sustainable. It\u2019s a significant decrease from the $85 per year that judges were previously paying for Judge Academy membership, and 100% of your dues are going toward our operations as a nonprofit (with public filings of our finances so you can know exactly how your money was spent). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re locking in $5\/mo for the first year of Judge Foundry (ending Sept 30, 2024). We expect this dues amount to stay pretty steady for a while – we\u2019ll keep looking at ways to reduce that number, and we hope that future boards will do their best to provide top-tier services while also respecting judges\u2019 budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have one more surprise we want to share before ending this article\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gift memberships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With dues only costing $5\/mo, a month or more of membership makes a pretty good gift for the judge who has everything. With the option to pay a judge\u2019s dues for them, stores can support their FNM judges as a way to thank them and to encourage them to continue honing their skills. Judges can sponsor each other for one or more months (a good way to say \u201cThanks for the ride to the airport\u201d or \u201cCongratulations on passing your L2 exam!\u201d). A TO could even include paying for the monthly dues for members of their staff as part of the compensation of an event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t know yet how much use this feature will see, but we\u2019re excited to offer it as a way for friends, family and TOs to give the gift of judging to our members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bidding Adieu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We hope that this article helped you understand not just the \u201chow much\u201d of dues but also the \u201cwhy.\u201d We know how important value is as a concept to tabletop gamers, and to judges in particular, and we want you to know that we\u2019ll be good stewards of your contributions and to use them in furtherance of our mission. Members will receive an accounting of how your dues were spent every year at our annual meeting, and you can verify these statements against our public filings with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
