Judges of the Realm
The modern home for certifying, advancing and staffing the judges who keep competitive play fair — onboarding to head judge.
The moment
When the old judge program lost its home, the game didn't stop needing judges.
Trading-card games are booming and organized play is fragmenting. This is the platform to run a world-class judge program — branded, neutral, and ready for more than one game.
The full judge lifecycle, in one place
Structured certification
Level 0 to Level 3, gated by proctored exams and a Tournament-Organiser endorsement model.
Verifiable credentials
Every certification is a public, verifiable credential — as trustworthy as a graded card.
Global & multilingual
One roster across 12 countries and five languages, searchable in milliseconds.
Fair & auditable
Server-graded exams, full audit trail, GDPR-compliant with EU-resident data.
Built for everyone in organized play
For judges
Learn, sit exams, earn verifiable badges, build an event history, and advance — all in one home.
For organisers
Post events, find certified judges by region and level, and endorse advancement.
For the program
A live roster, advancement oversight, integrity tooling, reporting and a secure API.
A credential as verifiable as a graded card
Every certified judge earns a tamper-evident digital credential and a branded certificate — each with a public verification page anyone can check in seconds.
