1. What L3 Means Toby Elliott US Nationals

2. Judging L3 is the pinnacle of judging Leaders on the PT/GP Floor Tested rules experts Collectively, THE face of the program to most players

3. Community L3s still responsible for their community L2s can train and certify L1s, but that just means more oversight is needed May certify fewer, but they’ll be more challenging - the L2s get the gimmes Public leader of your community –Even up to territory level

4. Policy Opportunity for policy impact greater than ever We expect L3s to question policy and make suggestions (in the appropriate places) Mailing list should be used to float and discuss policy ideas (we promise to be better about [O] answers) Eyes and ears to the community for possible changes

5. More Policy Work on and suggest projects that you’re interested in Good voices can lead and contribute to their area of expertise regardless of level Don’t do a project just to get noticed

6. Leadership There is such a thing as a senior L3 They are respected and their opinion is valued It’s not a competition - the best L3s make everyone better along with them No appointment - it is achieved and maintained thorough acclamation of your peers

7. Administration L4 and up changes focus from judging to administration –(see: best judges in the world comment) Handled by appointment according to DCI need Not a natural progression from L3 Not an indication of ‘superior’ judging skill Far better to focus on being the best L3 possible
