Why Do We Have Grading?
National grades allow you to compete at any competition in Australia against competitors of similar ability. Without a grade, you are not eligible for recognition in the grade results in any sanctioned competition.
The National Membership Officer maintains the National Grading List.
What Are The Grades
Grand Master: 95% and more (only at the Australian National Championships)
Master: 85% – 100% (or 94.99% at the Australian National Championships)
A: 75% to 84.99%
B: 60% to 74.99%
C: 40% to 59.99%
D: Less than 40%
Grand Master status can only be achieved at the Australian National Championships and will only be retained for 2 years. If the required score is not achieved during this period, the grade will automatically go to Master.
Each Division has its own grade and shooters must qualify in a new division if they wish to shoot a match in that new division or they will shoot as ungraded for that match.
