Overview
  There are a total of 5 Judge Levels, ranging from 0 to 4. The 0th Level is someone who has passed a basic rules test together with other Judges but not having judged any Swordmasters Games. The 4th Level is a symbolic honorary level bestowed to the creator of the game.
  In a normal Tournament, only one or two Judges between level 1-3 are used. For larger Tournaments a Level 3 should always be present as a minimum.


Judge Levels

Prospect
- Someone who aspires to become an official Swordmasters Judge.


Level 0 - Acolyte
- Passed the Gom Jabbar Test:
  For about 15 to 30 minutes, the Prospect sits with a L2+ Judge discussing rules and taking adhoc- and questions prepared by the Judge in advance. If the Judge think the Prospect is oriented enough on the rules, they may grant the Prospect the rank of Acolyte (Level 0 Judge).


Level 1 - Truthsayer
- Having partaked in the board of Judges for one or more SM Tournaments.


Level 2 - Protector Superior
- Having partaked in the board of Judges for three or more SM Tournaments.
- Organized at least one event connected to the SM Tournaments.
- Passed the Spicy Agony Test:
  For about 15 to 30 minutes, the subject sits with one or two L3 Judges discussing rules and taking adhoc- and questions prepared by the Judge(s) in advance. At least two questions in the session should be subtly wrongly made and the questions should be done in a way that the subject needs to show adequate proof that they are in the right. If the Judge(s) think the Truthsayer (Level 1) is oriented enough on the rules, they may confer to grant the rank of Protector Superior (Level 2).


Level 3 - Reverend Superior
- Having partaked in the board of Judges for five or more SM Tournaments.
- Organized at least three events connected to the SM Tournaments.


Level 4 - Kwisatz Haderach
- Title bestoved upon only one individual at any given time.

This individual cannot be replaced unless self-abdicating or otherwise disposed.
