purposes of the lawsuit that Wizards regulates all judge
certification. It administers the tests and training for

actions, up to and including the loss of one’s judge
certification.
Throughout most of the history
of the judge program, Wizards has provided promotional cards (some
extremely valuable) to judges, as an implicit “thank you” to them
for their service.
