YPG Captain Program
Scoring
YPG Captains can earn event and non-event points throughout the YPG season (April 1-February 28). A member of the MNCPA staff will track individual point totals according to the information collected at YPG events and reported by the YPG captains themselves.
Event points: Captains need not be present to earn event points at a given event. At the start of every YPG event, all attendees are asked to check-in. During this check-in process, attendees will indicate their point-earning potential according to the circumstances and point values listed below. Attendees will then be asked which captain their points should be attributed to, if any. Qualified event attendees without a captain, excluding those who also serve on a leadership committee, may become captains or give their points to a captain who is present at the event.

5 points - I am a qualified attendee (an MNCPA member already or could become one)
​ 5 points - I am a YPG captain
5 points - I tagged the MNCPA in a social media post about this YPG event (redeemable once/event)
15 points - I will apply for an MNCPA membership during this YPG event (redeemable once/event)
Non-event points: Captains can earn points for the accomplishments listed below, but each captain is responsible for communicating their accomplishments via email before the season ends: ypg@mncpa.org.
Note: Non-event point values are higher per item, but it in the case of a tie, the captain with the greatest number of event attendees will win.
