Why doesn't my score qualify for Master Bowman (MB) or Grand Master Bowman (GMB) classification even though it meets the scoring threshold?
The answer given may not be applicable in all areas of the site or may refer to features available only to some users.
Under Archery GB rules, MB and GMB classifications can only be awarded at tournaments with Record Status or equivalent standing. Golden Records will not return an MB or GMB classification unless the Record Status box is ticked for the tournament.
If Record Status is not selected, the classification will be capped at the highest level achievable at a standard competition (for example, Bowman), even if your score would normally qualify for MB or GMB.
