Judge (Magic: the Gathering)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A judge in the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game is a tournament official charged with enforcing the rules of the game and those of the DCI. While judges need not be certified, they may choose to attempt a series of tests and certified judges are ranked from level 1 (area-level) to level 5 (professional-level). There are less than 3000 judges worldwide and Wizards of the Coast pays for some judges to travel to international events in order to provide training and improvement.
