SUBMITTING
AWARDS TO THE MASTERPOINT CENTRE
You
have three choices of how to submit your awards to the Masterpoint Centre:
1. Manually, by Hand-Written Forms and "Snail-Mail" (or Fax)
If you wish to use this method, you must tell the
Masterpoint Centre. We will then supply the necessary CPAR (Club
Player Awards Register) and Sundry Awards forms. These forms are
sent to you at the beginning of each quarter and must be completed and
returned before the advertised deadline. Clear instructions of how to use
the forms, are printed on the back of the cover page. The CPAR forms
come pre-printed with the names and ABF numbers of your home and alt
members (see the PLAYER DETAILS help form), whereas the Sundry
Awards forms, which are blank, are to be used for anyone who are
not listed on the CPAR forms. We regret that we are unable to
accept the awards on any forms other than the official forms supplied by us.
2. Files on a Floppy Disk via "Snail-Mail"
If you are using one of the professionally available
scoring programs, masterpoint files will be created for you, in the
required format, by the program. These files may be placed on a floppy
disk (1.44mb) and forwarded by "snail-mail" to the Masterpoint Centre.
Alternatively, you may create these files manually by
using either our free NAT4WIN or NAT4DOS programs, or by using
a standard program such as Windows' NOTEPAD. However, if you
use the latter option, bear in mind that you will have to create your file
in our special MASTERPOINT FILE FORMAT (see the FORMAT AND NAMING
OF MASTERPOINT FILES help form).
Once you have created your file, you should check the
total by using NAT4WIN (or NAT4DOS), fill in the Electronic
Data Summary Sheet (supplied by the Centre) and forward it
together with your disk.
3. Files via Email.
I f you have access to email, you can use either of the
methods described in 2. above to generate the files. Then, instead of
placing the files on a floppy disk and submitting them by
"snail-mail", you can attach them to your email. You need not fill in any
forms if you use this method, but again, you should use NAT4WIN or
NAT4DOS to check the files and include the totals in your email.
4. Create and Submit directly from
our Web Site (NEW!)
This is an electronic version
of the CPAR and Sundry Awards forms. Simply click on the
CPAR form or the
Sundry Awards form on the main page
of our web site and follow instructions. If you don't have a professional
scoring program, this is by far the easiest way to enter and submit your
awards. No email required. Just click on the Submit button and the
file is sent to us directly in the accepted masterpoint format, with a copy
to the email address you have specified..
NOTE: Masterpoints files must not contain any
heading or notes, only the digits as described in FORMAT AND NAMING OF
MASTERPOINT FILES.
