I am sorry that you have been mislead to believe that any award in
Ansteorra is an award for someone not good enough to achieve something
greater.  The Centurion award had a poor reputation in the beginning but
I believe that it was an unjust rumor and since has been proven untrue. 
The Centurion award is a Grant level fighting award, just as the Star of
Merit is a grant level service award and the Iris is a grant level A&S
award, given as recognition to those that have reached a level of skill
(deemed worthy by other Centurions and the Crown) in either melee or
tournament combat.
