The GBA wants YOU to be a judge. Maybe.
Are you an experienced duelist? (Note: not necessarily a good one. Experience is more important than a winning record.)
Do you have copious amounts of free time?
Do you enjoy offering constructive criticism to people who more or less have to listen to you?
If you answered yes to those three questions, then the GBA does, in fact, want you to apply as a judge. We have several positions to fill, and there's only so many ways to cook the books to make it look like we've already got them covered.
So what does it mean to be a GBA judge? The most obvious part is the actual judging of duels. You'll be expected to break them down, analyze them, and come up with a winner. On top of that, you'll be required to assist players with questions, help solve dueling-related disputes, and tolerate the massive cloud of hair spray that follows Adi everywhere.
You'll need to be able to look at duels objectively. Who is fighting should be irrelevant; the winner isn't determined by the power of friendship. You also need to be able to take criticism yourself, as the art of judging takes practice, and there are almost always bumps on the road to perfection. You can also expect to have to deal with the occasional irate lump of dick cheese who will insist that you're either biased or incompetent when forced to face the fact that they lost.
If this sounds like your idea of a good time, please seek help. But first, apply to the GBA, where your mental problems are wanted and nurtured.
