League master points may be claimed for all team members who contributed to winning one or more matches (’2 Point wins’ or tied matches also count, though not ‘1 point defeats’ or outright losses!)
You should have a record of which players played in which matches from your records, or from the automated receipts we send you via the website when league match results are submitted.
When you complete the claim form please include full names and titles, and the master point number for each player (refer to MEMPAD if required). If any of your players does not have a master point number then please include their full name, title, and address so that the MP Secretary can register them in the SBU Master Point scheme.
