how master points work

Recognising your progress.

The Scottish Bridge Master Point scheme recognises your progress as a player.

Each time you take part in eligible competitions, you can earn Master Points, building a record of your experience and development over time.

Whether you play occasionally or more competitively, it’s a simple way to track how your game evolves.

Tracking your progress.

All Master Points are recorded digitally through MEMPAD, the Scottish Bridge membership and records system.

MEMPAD brings together both membership and Master Point records in one place, covering current and past members.

Through your account, you can:

  • View your Master Points and ranking

  • Track your progress over time

  • Manage your membership details

Members can securely access and update their own information, while clubs and officials manage results and records.

A long-standing system.

The Master Point scheme was introduced in 1957 as part of a unified approach across the home nations, developed in collaboration with the English Bridge Union and the wider British Bridge League.

It remains an important part of how progress and achievement are recognised across the game.

For full details on how the scheme operates, including point allocations and rankings, please refer to the official handbook.
