Andrew Heckt公布，从2014年8月1日起，二级裁判将进行重新定义。这次更改范围包括定义、认证前面试需求、认证条件本身以及一系列推荐条件，候选人应该在升级到二级时满足这些条件的要求。
如果你有任何问题，请联系任何一位三级或以上裁判。

二级裁判是区域裁判，他们不仅满足于在本地牌店执法。他们希望看到比赛在更高的标准下进行，愿意为了比赛而旅行，并且训练和指导其他裁判。对于二级裁判而言，他们经常会到不同的地方组织比赛和工作，以促进该地比赛社群的发展。二级裁判需要熟知竞争级执法严格度的方针和流程，具有执法专业资格赛和世界杯资格赛的经验，并对大奖赛进行支持。二级裁判可以认证一级裁判。对于很多裁判而言，二级裁判是他们在裁判计划中的期望位置——更高的级别意味着投入更多的时间。

目前的二级裁判必须向区域协调员（RC）提交资料，证明他们满足为区域内新二级裁判准备的以下所有三部分认证需求。目前的二级裁判需要在2014年年底之前向RC提交这些需求，否则将会在2015年1月被降级到一级。已经满足的需求（例如通过二级裁判笔试）应该包含在提交的资料中（包括考试ID和成绩）以供确认。
