Ever wondered what “R” or “r” judge actually means?

That one letter tells you a lot about what that judge is authorized to officiate. USEF’s tiered system distinguishes between Registered (“R”) and Recorded (“r”) judges, with different levels of authority depending on experience, discipline, and the level of competition. Both are qualified professionals, but they don’t have the same scope.
