Book Points - Ok what are Book Points?Ok, what are Book Points and why should we want to know. Book points are a way for you (club members) to purchase books, fish books, for your home library. Here is how it works. When a club member participates in any of the EIAA programs: WAP, BAP, HAP, APAP; book points are awarded according to the number of program points awarded. Example, if you write an article for the FinFlap and acquire 6 WAP points you are also awarded 0.6 book points. Every ten program points equals one book point. When you participate in the Bowl Show each month, again you receive a book point for every 10 Bowl Show Points. Dave's Top Ten Reasons to Show Your Fish at the Spring Show#10 - Not doing anything else that weekend. Writers AwardThe Writers Award is a program where EIAA Club Members can earn points for Articles written by club members. Points are awarded as follows: So your first article, with three references and over 1000 words that is not a BAP article could accrue 12 points. The minimum is 3 points. Along the way, extra points are awarded for pictures and graphics. Two things to notice, members who take on special tasks, editor, secretary, exchange editor, etc. accrue a lot of points from smaller articles because they write many, many articles for the FinFlap, a small reward for jobs done. All of the articles are on file in the WAP file should you like to refer back to one. Club OfficersPresident Committees  |
