This is a really good article, well written and well thought out, I'd definitely use the tips and advice this article provides when someone will ask me to recommend them for L2.
Thanks Joshua Feingold for a great article!

Now that the L2 redefinition has gone live, I want to briefly talk about those changes.

It is still the case that each of the qualities I mention in the article is relevant to an L2 candidate. However, Logistics and Tournament Operations and Rules & Policy Knowledge are now the only categories where I am looking for showstoppers. The other three qualities are still important for the development of an L2 judge, and I will want to talk about these as strengths or areas for improvement in my interview review of an advancing candidate, but the requisite level for a new L2 is extremely low.

Hello Joshua,

Thanks for the clarification, it just solved a dilemma I had about a candidate. I found the article very helpful, and I hope you don't mind me sharing some details that can make it flawless :)

Teamwork and Diplomacy

“Jane is easy to work with and has a great rapport with players. She has a good relationship with several with all the local stores and has helped out as a floor judge for 3 of them."

Some repetition several/all.

Development of Other Judges

Update with NNWO requirements (two reviews, everywhere article/tournament/conference report is game)

Logistics

NNWO - now 1 multiple judges event instead of 3

Cheers!
