Preview clips are a requirement of how iStipper promotes the cards that are on Sale in the store.
Every card on Sale must have Preview clips.
During shooting of the show, there may not be footage that can be used to create a level 1 preview clip.
So any clip designated as a preview clip with Above Level 1 content will be classified as Level 2, regardless of the actual Level content it might contain.
Level 1 clips are the only level that will not have content above it's level designation.
( there is a Level 0 designation, but no card to date has been released with level 0 clips )
While it doesn't happen often,
there are some preview clips that do exceeded Level 2 Content,
but they can only be classified at most, as level 2.
The Team does it's best to make sure that No Level 1 classified clip, contains content Higher then level 1.
And the Team does it's best to properly classify the other clips to match the Content Level.
But on clips of Level 2 and Higher, it is not as strict.
The Level classifications above level 1,
are approximations of,
what is the Maximum Content level that can be expected to be seen.
The Words assigned to the Levels are just that, a word to to describe what might be in that level.
there are actually, a written set of guidelines that describe what content fits into which level.
and the Guidelines go beyond just that single word.
iStipper could have just called Level 2, Level 2, with no descriptive word..
but it is easier to understand and call it Topless,
even if level 2 encompasses more than just topless nudity.
Hope this helps to understand the different level classifications.
