The Pokemon Professor program is designed for any player who is an expert of the Pokemon-e TCG and wishes or had experience to help out with tournaments, leagues, and premeire events.
No League Leader, Judge or Organizer has to be a professor however doing these sort of events can pay off in product compensation if you are a professor. So if you participates as a League Leader, Judge or Organizer, then being a professor is a very good idea.
The test is not out yet but it will be a very hard multiple choice test of about 50 questions that covers Game Rules, Rulings, Tournament Organizing and the POP Floor Rules. You should have a very comprehensive knowledge of the Rules, Tournament Rules, and the
Compendium, before taking the upcoming test. The test requires an 80% passing grade in order to become a professor.
Expect the test to possibly appear in January.
