"A" grade is an average of 97.5 and above,

"B" grade is 94.5 and above, to below 97.5,

"C" grade is below 94.5.

Beginners start in C grade, and in the beginning start in a "C grade tyro" section. You stay in the tyro section until you win a cash prize in Open competition, then you progress to C grade.
