Introducing Judge Foundry

We’re excited to announce the formation of Judge Foundry, a new community-driven nonprofit association dedicated to supporting judges in the United States and Canada.

Judge Foundry forges high-quality tournament officials in the crucible of mentorship. We foster a member-driven community in the United States and Canada to create outstanding player experiences while providing judges the opportunities to develop and grow.

We'd like to thank Judge Academy for their years of service for the judge community. They stewarded the judge community through some of its most difficult crises, and we're grateful to Tim, Samma, EDB, and everyone who worked at Judge Academy over the years, for all their work.

We know that, right now, judges around the world are looking for their next steps. If you’d like to learn more, please visit our website.

If you have questions after doing that, we’ve started a forum thread here to answer them – you can also reach us on Facebook and Twitter. We don’t have all the answers yet, but we wanted you to know that there is a plan for a judge program going forward and we’re excited to have you be a part of it.
