Secondary Links on Matchpointer Online
Can't find a link to it?  Type it yourself using these handy rules.

Some work has recently been done to Matchpointer Online resulting in several new pages.  There are links to these new pages from similar areas on the site, but it might be a good idea to give you a breakdown of addresses on the site, so that you can if you wish quickly find something by typing the address in your address bar.

All pages on the site begin with http://www.matchpointer.com/ and end with .htm. (If you're typing in the address, virtually any browser will assume http:// and most of them will assume the www. part, so matchpointer.com/whatever-comes-next.htm is usually sufficient.) .html suffixes will NOT work except in the specific case of matchpointer.com/index.html, which is equivalent to the Home area start page, matchpointer.com/h0.htm

All of the main pages accessible from the bid-box graphic have a two-character name: letter (H, A, C, I, M, S, T, U, or L for Home, Administration, Clubs, IMP League, Matchpointer, Special Events, Tournaments, Unit Games, or Links) and number (0 for the area Start Page, 1-4 for the specific pages within the area). The full list of main pages can be found at this link:

http://www.matchpointer.com/h1.htm

As stated above, some extra pages have been added with more complicated names, but I try to keep a scheme so that if you need a specific page and you cannot find a link to it, you can follow the scheme and enter it into the address bar. We're going to dispense with the always needed matchpointer.com/ and just give you what follows:


ADMINISTRATION:
a_YYMMM.pdf - Replace YY with the last two digits of a year: 07 or 08, and MMM with the three-letter (all capitals) abbreviation for a month (or AGM for the Annual General Meeting) and you have a link to the Board Meeting minutes. Each board meeting is also summarized and linked at the a3.htm page.


CLUBS:
Cxxx.htm - Replace xxx with the three-character (all capitals) abbreviation for the club and you get the club information page for that club.  Abbreviations are on the list on page c1, but this area of the site hasn't been updated in a while.  At some point I would like to add photos of clubs, and I will be happy to do so if someone sends me one.


IMP LEAGUE:
I_@_STA.htm - Replace @ with the division letter (A or X this year) and you get the current standings and division notes.

I_@_T##.htm - Replace @ with the division letter and ## with a number from 01 to 12 (in Flight A) or 01 to 06 (in Flight X) and you get the team stats page.  The order of the teams is alphabetical by captain's surname.


TOURNAMENTS:
For all the below links, (YY = Year, XXX = Tournament: TRO = Trophy, SFS = Spring Future Stars, STA = STaC, VIC = Victoria Day, EVE = Evergreen, FFS = Fall Future Stars, ROU = Round Up)

t_YYXXXr.htm - Results and top 25 masterpoint winners.

t_YYXXXi.htm - Information and event schedule for the tournament.

t_YYXXXf.pdf - Black and white printer-friendly version of the tournament flyer.

t_YYXXXf.pdf - Colour version of the tournament flyer.

Links to all of these are on the t4 page.


UNIT GAMES
YY = Year, MMM = three-letter abbreviation for month.

U_YYMMMr.htm - Plaintext results from this Monthly Unit Game.

U_YYMMMh.pdf - Printable pdf of the hand record sheet from this Monthly Unit Game.


MISCELLANEOUS:

u430gss.pdf - The Unit Generic Sectional Schedule in pdf, default schedules for all tournaments.

db.htm - A special page with links to all recent McBruce Daily Bulletins (which are actually stored on unit430.com, not matchpointer.com).


Yes, I know some of these start with a capital letter and some start with a lower case letter.  Sorry about that...
