Masterpoints are automatically awarded by the computer scoring program 'Scorebridge'  to the leading players in each of the club's competitions, the number of points awarded depending on the size of the entry in the competition. Every three months the total of masterpoints awarded to each player is forwarded by email to the EBU to be recorded in the EBU member's file. Players who are not members of the EBU, but who are thinking of joining, can on request to the Club have Masterpoint Certificates printed for forwarding to the EBU once they become a member. The Certificates remain valid for 3 years from the date of issue. The total number of points accumulated by a player in the EBUs records and the player's Masterpoints Ranking can be found by clicking on the following link to the appropriate EBU web page http://www.ebu.co.uk/master_points.asp and then entering the member's EBU number. On the page which then appears it is possible to see when and where each set of points were awarded by clicking on the player's ranking to reveal the details on the player's individual file.
