Levels of Competition
This is a list of the competition levels. For this contest Master level has been removed. Also please note that the levels ONLY apply to the Armor categories, everything else will be judged using one level.

• JUNIOR -- modelers under the age of 16 that do not wish to compete in one of the other categories.
• BASIC -- modelers new to the hobby or those who display basic modeling skills. Modelers at this level generally build straight from the box or with a few minor tweaks and are people that have never competed before or are new to the hobby. The BASIC level is the introductory level to the AMPS system and serves to allow members that are developing their modeling skills to be evaluated and encouraged through the feedback provided by the AMPS judging system. Modelers may participate once at the BASIC level for their first AMPS show, where they will learn about the AMPS system and receive useful comments about how to build better models; afterward they will move on to the INTERMEDIATE level.
• INTERMEDIATE - models built by the majority of modelers; those of average to above average skill levels and who have some work to improve the model, or have won before in other shows. Models built by modelers at this level show some modifications, changes, commercial upgrades or conversion work. INTERMEDIATE level modelers move to the ADVANCED level upon winning a Gold Medal in the INTERMEDIATE level of competition.
• ADVANCED - models by very skilled modelers whose entries are heavily reworked, accurized, or display a great deal of non-commercial parts and or modifications. The evaluations of this class will be quite strenuous with accuracy and fidelity being the primary differentiators from INTERMEDIATE.

A word about the AMPS style of judging. The judging system is not set up to simply select winners, but to have each entry judged on a scale and entry viewed and evaluated by a group of fellow modelers, providing an opportunity to have the entrant's work appreciated by other people besides his/her close friends and family. Second, the entire judging system is set up to reward the modeler for the good work he/she has done. Each model is reviewed and evaluated on its own merits, never comparing it to any other piece or modeler's work. (this has been taken from the AMPS rules see that website for more details).
