===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.

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.
