Medal Awarding
Medals will be awarded based on XP earned since the last medal, plus any non-site-tracked activity (project, leadership.) Medals do no “consume” XP, but do reset the member’s XP-since-last-medal.
Leaders can award medals with a value less than or equal to a member’s accrued XP-since-last-medal without further justification. Medals with a value less than or equal to accrued XP-since-last-medal do not grant XP to the receiving member.
If a member has non-site-tracked activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without site-tracked activity, they will submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the current system.
If the approved medal exceeds the member’s accrued XP-since-last-medal, then the medal will grant XP equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s accrued XP-since-last-recognition.
