Being a Game Master is more about knowing the rules of the games. It's also about being able to read the current match and to maintain it's natural flow, whilst also making sure the Gladiators are playing fairly and safely.

Game Masters are trained by the owners of the Arenas, however there are rumours that their training just learning the rules. It is common that Game Masters were also Gladiators, as they have more experience in the field.
