All Badger Region professional (new and returning) scorers have undergone a standardized training program to gain and maintain scorer certification. There are three certification levels a professional scorer may achieve: Provisional, Regional and National. Each certification level builds upon the previous level and allows the certified individual to score increasingly difficult matches. A certified scorer may either work through the certification levels or remain at their current certification level by re-certifying annually.
To become a certified scorer in Badger Region, the minimum age is 16-years old. Scorers are considered in training until they have completed all requirements of the first certification level.
