The other major change is the fees judges will now need to pay a fee based on their level to maintain their status: Now, to remain in good standing a Judge is required to complete "upkeep requirements," and good standing lasts one calendar year from the point it was last achieved. Prior to the Judge Academy, once a person entered the Judge program, they were not required to do professional development to maintain their current status beyond run events. The two biggest changes coming with the Judge Academy are the professional development requirements and annual membership fees for Judges. Initially, the Judge Academy will train Judges for WOTC's Magic: The Gathering and Asmodee's KeyForge, but is in talks with other tabletop and e-sports companies to add more clients.

As they complete more courses and judge more events, Judges can upgrade their status from the lowest judging level, a Rules Advisor, all the way up to a Level 3 Judge. Rules Advisors and Judges will have to complete online coursework in order to become or stay certified to judge organized play events. The mission of Judge Academy is to train staff for organized play, offering coursework to new and established judges for a fee.
Tim Shields, owner of Cascade Games LLC., founded this new initiative, and the Judge Program Manager is longtime Magic: The Gathering Judge Nicolette Apraez. Judge Academy, in partnership with Wizards of the Coast, will open an online training center for organized play Judges on Octoin the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe.
