To be considered for an NSBA judges card, applicants must complete and submit an application by October 1. All applications are reviewed by the NSBA Judges Committee, and selected applicants are invited to participate in judges testing held in Weatherford, Texas in early December. The testing process includes a closed rulebook examination, video testing across all NSBA disciplines and a personal interview. For additional information, please see the complete requirements at nsba.com/judges-application-forms.
After becoming an NSBA judge, all current judges are required to recertify every three years to maintain their judge’s card.
