Recurring forms of participation are sorted into Activity Tiers or the purposes of the XP Policy, Credit Award Policy, and other forms of official recognition.
Definitions
Priority activities are manually upgraded to T1 status by the organizers. Only Council members, Society Leaders, and their staff may prioritize activities. Unless a policy specifically refers to Novae-granted competitions, they will be considered T1.
Activities will be considered Collaborative if multiple members are required to collaborate to achieve participation credits. Activities that do not require multiple members for participation will be considered Solo.
Activities will be considered Brotherhood-Centered if they fulfill any of the following criteria:
Activity Tiers
The following five tiers are based on whether activities are Priority, Collaborative, Brotherhood-Centered, or not. In the event that it is unclear which Tier is appropriate, the following authority will make the final determination:
For activities that award Clusters, participation and organization credit is awarded for the relevant session, competition, match, or entity creation. See the table below for some examples.
