Most competitive sports have officials, Football has its `Referees', Cricket has its `Umpires' and Archery its Judges. These Judges are usual recruited from experienced members of local clubs who are recommended by their club secretary, to the County and Region meetings for approval to be appointed a candidate judge.

There are five main levels or grades of Judges:
- Candidate judge
- County judge
- Regional judge
- National judge
- International judge
The Grand National Archery Society requires that all tournaments must be under the control of a Judge of the appropriate minimum standard:
- National Tournament National Judge
- National F.I.T.A. style rounds International Judge or National Judge
- Regional Tournaments Regional Judge
- F.I.T.A. Star Tournaments International Judge or National Judge.
- Other Record Tournaments Regional Judge
- Non-Record Status County Tournaments County Judge
- Non-Record Status Club open Tournaments County Judge.
Naturally at a Tournament the Judge-in-charge would be ably assisted by other Judges of any level of qualification and may include a reasonable proportion of candidate judges. Judges are not expected to control tournaments of a higher level than indicated above, they are encouraged to work at tournaments of higher levels, assisting colleagues having the appropriate qualifications.
At present we have 6 Archery Judges in Wales with grades ranging from Candidate to National.
