===XP Based Awarding===
Promotions and Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed below (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the member's lifetime XP value, excluding any corrections minus the full value of their combined merit and sacramental awards. Promotions do not reset Medal XP, '''nor do Medals reset Promotion XP'''.
Members can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:
Without further justification, leaders can award medals with a value less than or equal to a member’s Medal XP. Medals with a value less than or equal to Medal XP do '''not grant additional XP''' to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.
If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system.
If an approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s Medal XP, then the medal '''will grant additional XP''' at least equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP. The total XP earned is equal to the value of non-site-tracked XP applied to the medal.

===Medal Awarding===
Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed above (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the amount of XP a member has earned since their last medal. Promotions to do not reset Medal XP.
A member can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:
Leaders can award medals with a '''value less than or equal''' to a member’s Medal XP without further justification. Medals with a value '''less than or equal''' to Medal XP do '''not grant additional XP''' to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.
If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system. 
If an approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s Medal XP, then the medal '''will grant additional XP''' equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP.
Finally, medals awarded '''solely''' based on non-site-tracked activity do not reset Medal XP.

===Elder Promotions===


Promotions to the rank of [[EL1|Elder 1]] and beyond are not based on XP. They are based primarily around member contributions to their clan and the club as a whole.

At least three years aggregate time as a Consul (or independent unit leader) or member of the Council. Simply holding a position is not sufficient. Consideration will be given to a member's contributions to the club as well as whether their time-in-position was active or inactive. Highly impactful work in positions other than Consul or Council may also be considered.


Further, the member's sacramental awards will be reviewed to ensure that they are justified by their recommendations, as some high sacramentals have been awarded in years past for as little as winning a single competition. The value of any medals that do not pass this review will be reduced or deducted from the member's XP total solely for purposes of determining whether the member meets the required XP threshold.

This XP Policy outlines how a member can earn XP in the experience system. This policy is approved by the Grand Master and is enforced for integrity by the Dark Council.

XP Based Awarding

Promotions and Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed below (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the member's lifetime XP value, excluding any corrections minus the full value of their combined merit and sacramental awards. Promotions do not reset Medal XP, nor do Medals reset Promotion XP.

Members can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:

Without further justification, leaders can award medals with a value less than or equal to a member’s Medal XP. Medals with a value less than or equal to Medal XP do not grant additional XP to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.

If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system.

If an approved medal exceeds the member’s Medal XP, then the medal will grant additional XP at least equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP. The total XP earned is equal to the value of non-site-tracked XP applied to the medal.
