From the NAGA website they have categories from Novice, Beginner, up to Black BeLtd. Definitely looks like a professionally -run event, but it's for the lay person rather than someone who earns a living off of prize winnings and corporate sponsorships.
From their website FAQ:
2. Does NAGA have a division for me?
Yes we do. NAGA has divisions for all ages and all skill levels. NAGA has had Expert level 6 years old compete and Novice level 50 year olds compete.
We have a division for everyone. For more information, click the red DIVISIONS tab located on the page of the event you are interested in.
