| - | Rules Advisors can be used as a stepping stone to L1, or simply as a note for other players and TOs that someone has been tested on the Magic Comprehensive Rules. This certification is strictly rules based, since not everyone has the time and bandwidth to become versed in the intricacies of running events. | + | **Rules Advisors** can be used as a stepping stone to L1, or simply as a note for other players and TOs that someone has been tested on the Magic Comprehensive Rules. This certification is strictly rules based, since not everyone has the time and bandwidth to become versed in the intricacies of running events. |
| - | Level 1 Judges can of course also answer all the rules questions that the RA can, and more. They also have knowledge of how to run events, and what to do per the Judging at Regular document when issues come up or mistakes are made. The big thing that differentiates an L1 from an RA is their additional training in the soft skills that help create an excellent event. The L1 has been trained in conflict resolution, how to demo, service mindset, organizational skills, and more. L1 is intended to be the go-to person at an FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store) that can put together a fun, inclusive, memorable event. | + | **Level 1** Judges can of course also answer all the rules questions that the RA can, and more.

| - | Level 2 builds on the skills and traits of the L1 and expands their reach beyond the FLGS, and up to Competitive REL. L2s are expected to be mentors and leaders in their area. They will enjoy continuing refinement of their customer service skills as well as training in how to Judge at larger events. They will help with the creation and fostering of L1s. They represent the bulk of Judges on the floor of a Magic Fest and other large tournaments. | + | **Level 2** builds on the skills and traits of the L1 and expands their reach beyond the FLGS, and up to Competitive REL.

They mentor Judges by Team Leading at or Head Judging major events, and provide feedback to help improve other Judges, regardless of level. | + | **Level 3** Judges are the experts of Premier Organized Play and the Judge communities in their regions.

| Yes! Current Judges in good standing in the served regions will be transferred into Judge Academy with their level intact when they join. Due to the increase in focus on customer service, Level 1 Judges will be required to participate in some additional education modules to keep their level. Levels 2 and 3 will port straight over. Successful transfer of one’s level will be contingent on payment of their yearly membership fee. We have spoken with the current Level Sphere, and for ease of transition and scope we have decided not to change any Levels 2 and 3 prerequisites at this time, although all levels will need to take update exams throughout the year, starting in 2020. We are working to iron out pre-test requirements and continuing education for L2+ Judges, but want to make sure we have time to properly evaluate and incorporate changes that Program Coordinators and the Level Sphere have been researching over the last year or so. | Yes!

| - | A note for current and former Level 3s: We understand the immense amount of work that goes into the Level 3 Process. Level 3 Judges in Judge Academy who step down voluntarily or due to inactivity will be granted “Emeritus” status. Emeritus Judges can recertify for Level 3 within five years of lapsing with a modified checklist/process. This will also extend to former Level 3 Judges in those same circumstances, who choose to join Judge Academy. | + | **A note for current and former Level 3s:** We understand the immense amount of work that goes into the Level 3 Process.

| As mentioned, we are working hard to ensure that the transition period is as short and seamless as possible. However, any gap is too long of a gap, and we want to make sure we continue to foster the judge community in those areas as best we can in the meantime. This means finding answers to questions in a few main areas: Event Staffing Technology, Certifications, and Conferences. | As mentioned, we are working hard to ensure that the transition period is as short and seamless as possible.

Technology is important to us as well, and we are working hard to ensure JudgeAcademy.com has all the necessary features it needs to be the hub for all Judge activity in incorporated regions starting Oct 1. As the PCs have stated, out of service areas will not lose access to JudgeApps during this transition. | + | **Technology:** Since we have no ownership over JudgeApps, this isn’t really our question to answer, but we know JudgeApps is important to many people.

| Currently, JudgeApps is the system that keeps Judges’ certification level and creates the opportunity to test for new levels. We’ve spoken to the PCs and the Technology Sphere Lead (Paul Baranay), who plan on maintaining judges level records in JudgeApps and are looking into ways to continue supporting new level testing in all areas not yet served by Judge Academy. So if you are mentoring someone right now, don’t stop!
