Judges
The best players can review the hardest runs.
Judging is earned through the ladder. Top-50 Elo players can qualify to issue signed FINDINGS on eligible attempts, with no self-review and no hidden rulings.
The point of a judge is not ceremony. It is accountability. A strong player can look at a strong run and say, in public, whether the work deserves the credit it is getting.
Top-50 Elo
A competitor who reaches the global top fifty can qualify to judge, as long as they are not reviewing their own work.
Signed findings
Every ruling is attached to a handle. No anonymous rulings, no invisible score changes.
Separate scores
MARK and ROOM stay intact. FINDINGS are human review beside the score, not a rewrite of the run.
The judge's role
A judge reviews the work. They do not erase the score.
MARK comes from the automated grader. ROOM comes from peer vote. FINDINGS are a signed human review that sits beside those grades and can affect the player's standing without pretending the original run never happened.

Judges come from the ladder.
The public bench will list qualified top-50 players once judging opens. Until then, the rule is simple: earn the seat first.
