Master Point FAQ - the Answers

How do I make a Master Points Claim ?

 
Please help us to give you the best possible service when handling your Master Points, by preparing your claim in the same format as that in which the EBU will process it.

Note: Only current EBU members are entitled to have a Master Point record maintained for them.

 COUNTING MASTER POINTS

1. Carefully examine any certificates that were issued three years ago or earlier, since most awards cease to be valid after that time. The exceptions to this are as follows:
  a. GREEN (or National) points will always be accepted.
  b. LOCAL points awards that do not contain a "Valid for three years" clause upon them.
  Apart from the above, invalid certificates should be discarded, since they cannot be accepted for registration
2. Separate the certificates you are sending into TWO groups:
  Group One Certificates dated in the current Master Point year (from 1 January last)
  Group Two Certificates dated before the current Master Point year
  Only "Current Year" points are eligible for inclusion in the yearly Master Point competition, in which all members participate.
3. Within each of the two groups, separate LOCAL points from GREEN (or National) points
4. Count each of these sub-groups separately, and arrive at a total for each.

RECORDING MASTER POINTS

Record the totals for each of the sub-groups in the boxes provided on your form.
Top two boxes LOCAL points and GREEN points dated during the current Master Point year.
Bottom two boxes LOCAL points and GREEN points dated before then
  Note: These boxes should only be used for totals as described above, relating ONLY to certificates accompanying the claim. Carry-forward totals from previous statements and "Direct Credits" should NOT be included in them.

Now send in your points, but please follow these simple rules:

First of all, please check and make certain that you have included your claim form or your name, address and membership number. Please do not use staples or Sellotape to secure your certificates as removal of these can slow down the counting process.

When you are ready, just send your certificates to:
The English Bridge Union ,
Master Point Department,
Broadfields,
Bicester Road,
Aylesbury HP19 8AZ

Sending in a claim for the first time? Or perhaps you have mis-laid your form? Then, please present this information, in as clear a manner as possible, on a piece of paper.
