Scoring
Captains are responsible for keeping their own score at each event. Each captain will be given a monthly point log. Captains must submit their total points to the MNCPA Member Relations Coordinator at the end of each month. The coordinator will verify all points.
Those captains who show outstanding commitment to the program will be recognized by the MNCPA in a letter to their managing partner or superior of their choice.
