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 (local-level) to level 5 (professional-level). There are fewer 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. Only select judges of level 2 (area-level, known as Trainers) and judges of level 3 (regional-level) and higher may administer exams, and there are under 200 of these people worldwide.

A lower level of rules knowledge is that of Rules Advisor, which qualification can be attained online.
