Become a Judge

Becoming a Four Strokes Judge is a great way to support your team, help facilities host competitions and fundraising events, and get paid by hosts for officiating matches and tournaments.

Study the rules

Study the Four Strokes Rulebook and Judge’s Manual to prepare for certification. Our video course is coming soon.

Pass the test

Answer 25 questions drawn randomly from the 100-question pool in 10 minutes. A score of 90% is required: at least 23 correct answers.

Passing submits your application for administrator approval before Judge access activates. If you do not pass, wait 24 hours before trying again.

Find a match

Once your certification is approved and active, use the map to apply for a full match-day shift.

Three Judges serve each game running at the same time, so larger schedules may need more. For multi-day events, select one day at a time; each signup covers that day’s first scheduled match through its last.

Officiate & report

Results are recorded in the Four Strokes system and used for official match records, rankings, tournament progression, and player statistics. Certified Judges submit reports from the Judge tab in their account profile.
