The baseline is that those Judges are capable of judging a Road to Nationals or Proquest event with 32 players and have (if available) another Judge with them. Of course, some of our Level 2 Judges excel at this standard, but that is fine! We just wanna make sure that we reiterate that seeing somebody floor judge on a calling every other weekend is not the standard for that level!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another common misconception is that there is a language requirement. Being able to speak English is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">not<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> a requirement for becoming Level 2. We are also actively working on translating tests to other languages. The language expectation of a Level 2 Judge is that they are able to communicate at both a friendly and technical level in the language they intend to primarily run events in. English (or other languages) mostly becomes relevant if you wish to judge events outside your region or want to be a team lead at Callings in your region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We encourage all Level 1 Judges to review the non-exam criteria from the review rubric used for recommendations.
