Guide to Licensing Events - Master-point Awards
(a)
Single venue events
 

The licence fee covers the cost of issuing masterpoints. It is the responsibility of the licence holder to award the appropriate masterpoints and submit the appropriate result files to the EBU.


The status at which masterpoints may be awarded depends on two factors: whether the event is restricted to EBU members, and whether a significant proportion of the entry is expected from outside the local area.
An established congress of at least four sessions may apply to be considered for ‘Major Congress’ status if it satisfies both these conditions, and if it averages at least 50 tables per session over its best four sessions.

  EBU members only: Open to non-members:
Local players only : District Status Club Status
Non-local players : County Status District Status
Major Congress : Regional Status n/a
   
(b) Multi Venue Events
 
The low rate for multi-venue events is offered on the assumption that masterpoints are issued at all venues (on the basis of local results) under normal P2P arrangements at the cost of the clubs concerned. Further masterpoints may be issued by the organiser based on global results provided they are submitted to the EBU in an appropriate format.
(c) Other events (e.g. leagues)
  Please refer to the Licensing and Masterpoints Handbook for full details.
Full details on how to award masterpoints can be found in the Licensing and Masterpoints Handbook.
