Historical Article<\/h3><\/div>

This article was written during the time between when Judge Foundry was announced and when we launched. While we’re keeping it live (for transparency and historical purposes, as well as to elucidate our philosophy), some of our policies and requirements might have changed. For the most current version of the process to advance to and maintain Level Four, see this page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There hasn\u2019t been a Level Four Magic Judge since 2016, but starting soon, we will make some new ones. The old L4 was very similar to Grand Prix Head Judge, but the new L4 is not. This level is another stepping stone between what the old L2 was, and old L3. The immediate target audience for this level is certainly smaller than Judge Foundry Level Three, but we do expect quite a few quick advancements. Continued feedback through JudgeApps<\/a>, Reddit<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, our new Discord<\/a> server, or by old-fashioned email<\/a> is still highly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Level Four Judge is an expert in tournament policy with experience head-judging events of 150+ players and small teams of judges. L4s are also comfortable leading a large team, like a 5-judge team at a Regional Championship. Not only are L4s comfortable with all of the tasks expected of a floor judge at a large event, they are experts with at least one team and can lead any team while training L2s and L3s on how to do those tasks. L4s are strong communicators and mentors. They train L2s to become L3s and mentor L3s to become L4s. In their local community, an L4 identifies judges who should be advancing, works one-on-one with judges, and encourages mentorship and collaboration within the entire community. An L4 should start looking towards L5 when they find themselves very comfortable in all of the L4 roles, mentoring multiple other judges towards L4, and are highly involved in the regional and national community.<\/strong><\/div>
