Licensed Shows: An L Judge may not officiate at a licensed show at any level.
Schooling Shows: L judges are the most common type of judge for schooling shows. It is highly recommended that FADS shows hire an L judge or higher.

An r judge is a graduate of the USDF L and USEF r programs.
Licensed Shows: Recorded Dressage judge may officiate at Second Level and below and may not officiate at the Third Level and above.

FEI Judges: The FEI trains and certifies higher levels of judges (FEI 2*, FEI 3*, FEI 4* and FEI 5*); however, they are very rarely hired for schooling shows.
Eventing Judges: The USEA trains judges for all phases of eventing (dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping). People that have completed the first phase of this training (dressage) are eligible to judge dressage schooling shows.
