MASTER POINTS

Gammon Associates' 		   MASTER POINTS		                         
January 2009


The number of rounds won in a tournament, determine the number of points accrued, 
starting from a 3-round event.  A bonus of an additional point is given to the winner 
of 5-rounds or more.  Thus:


In an event of:		    Winner	2nd Place	3/4th Place	5/8th Place	

3 rounds (5-8 players)		1	   -0-		   -0-		   -0-

4 rounds (9-16 players)		2	   -0-		   -0-		   -0-

5 rounds (17-32 players)	4	    2		    1 each	   -0-

6 rounds (33-64 players)	5	    3		    2 each	    1 each


In addition for G/A weekly events, we award bonus-points for the 'last playing' date for 
each venue (Tuesday and Sunday) of the month.  E.g. on the last Tuesday (played) of a month, 
we give an extra 3-2-1-1 points to the top four finishers;  therefore if a 6-round event, the 
points awarded are 8-5-3-3-1-1-1-1;  or if it is a 5-round event, then the points are 
7-4-2-2-1-1-1-1.

See the "Tuesday_Sunday Y-T-D" menu-option to explain one use of MASTER POINTS.


NOTE: we 'drag' $1 for each round played in the month ($5 or $6 from a tournament) from 
the prize monies; these total dollars (typically $40-50) are paid out to the player who 
has accumulated the most Master Points for that month.
