End of Year Article: Judge Program 2022
Judges, event staff, and all those following the Flesh and Blood Judge Program, what an amazing 2022 it has been! From our first pro-tour event, to the establishment of official community roles, 2022 has shaped up to be the most important year for the Judge Program so far. Let’s look a bit into the amazing things that happened and the shape the Judge Program is taking at the moment as well as what is to come in the future.
The Events of 2022
2022 has brought many events and challenges, the Proquest seasons leading to the first ever Pro Tour in New Jersey as well as the Pro Tour in Lille, Nationals seasons, and the final big event in San Jose, the World Championships! Hundreds and hundreds of events with thousands of players enjoying amazing games of Flesh and Blood which all the judges and staff, from Prerelease and ProQuests up to the Worlds Championship, made possible. Thank you all for your roles to make it all happen!
In addition to the great events this year, we’ve also had the release of the Comprehensive Rules 2.0 and a complete rewrite of the Procedure and Penalty Guide. Feedback from the the community was a critical part of balancing the philosophy and intentions of Legend Story Studios with the experience and practicality from the our Judges. We hope to continue this relationship with the community to ensure that we can create the best resources possible for our Organized Play events.
The Judge Program Development of 2022
This year has brought a wider roll-out of the Judge Program for Flesh and Blood.
The start of JudgeHub made many things easier or enabled them in general, like testing, judge list, event overview and applications. Some numbers that are very impressive:
- 3,300+ JudgeHub accounts have been created
- 2,500+ judges are certified L0 or above
- Judges have written 84,236 words reviewing each other on the platform
- Judges have submitted 966 applications to 89 events on the platform
- Candidates have seen 266,500 questions and given 203,355 correct answers across 8,056 exams
Another big part was the roll-out of different community roles over the second half of the year.
We were able to create an amazing system that enables judges to bring in their energy and commitment for the Judge Program and help develop it. This consists of different project leads and their team members, as well as the Judge Community Representatives and their leads. This system offers us an amazing opportunity to grow the Judge Program for the next years and enable great support for new and current judges alike.
