Yes, there was a big deal about whether judging at tournaments counted as being an employee for Wizards of the Coast, or something to that matter, so what better way to get around that then to use the same system as other certified professionals. Now you pay into an organization, they train you and can send you places, you get a neat little certification for a bit, and then you also still get your Judge Promos which have a high secondary market as compensation. Lather, rinse, repeat as much as you care about.

Low level judges don't have to pay in, these will be your judges at your local game stores for the majority of things that are not Prime Champs and Vault Tours.
