Additionally, crescent tiers scale as follows:
* Upgrade one tier at a scaling threshold of participation (crescents may only upgrade ''once'' per competition)
* Parent competitions with three or more sub-competitions run one tier higher than their sub-competitions
===First Level===
[[File:Cr_diamond_small.jpg|thumb|left|Cr-Diamond Star]] These elite crescents are reserved for Brotherhood-wide competitions hosted by members of [[the Council]], [[Society Leaders]], or special events, such as the [[Independence Games]], which garner large numbers of participants.


'''Second Level:''' A competition that takes a substantial effort from its participants, but is probably a stand-alone competition or small-scale series of events.
