By VE7FO Version 0_1_01 How to Run This Slide Show The usual PowerPoint presentation is a very linear affair, you just move from one slide to the next. If you try that with this one, you will get totally messed up as it uses hyperlinks to arrange the order of the slides. So, use the mouse to click on the forward and back arrows at the top of the slide to move to the next or previous slide. Click on the underlined hyperlinks in the slides to see more detail To get to the first slide in the show from here you can either click on the Forward arrow at the top right of this slide or you can click on this hyperlinkthis hyperlink Problems?Problems?

By VE7FO Version 0_1_018 HOW A CLUB MEMBER EARNS PNW CUP POINTS SINGLE OP MULTI-OP

By VE7FO Version 0_1_019 SINGLE OP The points earned by a Single-Op member in a particular contest is equal to the claimed raw score made in the contest –No supporting documentation required - just the claimed score –Doesn't matter who owns the station –Doesnt matter whose call is used

By VE7FO Version 0_1_020 MULTI-OP AT A MEMBERS STATION AT A NON-MEMBERS STATION

By VE7FO Version 0_1_021 AT A MEMBER'S STATION Any member's station - doesn't matter which Club The total points made by the station are divided equally among the members. –Non-members are ignored in this calculation EXAMPLE

By VE7FO Version 0_1_022 MEMBERS STATION POINTS EXAMPLE VE7UM makes 1M points. He has 10 newbie ops who don't belong to any of the clubs, himself, 2 ops from WWDXC and 1 from BCDXC The members each get 1/4 of the total points or 250K to allocate as they see fit –Normally this would mean that Orca gets 1/4 = 250k points, WWDXC gets 2/4 = 500k and BCDXC gets 1/4 = 250k

By VE7FO Version 0_1_023 AT A NON-MEMBER'S STATION Each member receives a pro-rata share of the points made by the station based on the total number of operators, including non- members EXAMPLE

By VE7FO Version 0_1_024 NON-MEMBERS STATION POINTS EXAMPLE VE7XYZ (a non-member) makes 4M points There are 8 ops 1 belongs to BCDXC and 2 to Orca. The rest are non-members Each member gets 1/8 = 500k points to allocate as they see fit –Normally this would mean that BCDXC would get 500K and Orca would get 1M

By VE7FO Version 0_1_025 HOW THE POINTS ARE ALLOCATED TO THE CLUBS A member may allocate his share of the points accumulated at a station to any or all of the clubs in any proportion that he chooses
