Get Graded (or Regraded)
To create fun, fair, exciting competitions, all competitors are placed in a certain grade level based on their abilities.

Existing Competitors
At the end of each competition season, competitors who feel they are ready for the next grade can apply to be upgraded for the next season. The application form to apply for upgrade is found here.
