Magic Contest knows nothing about calculating master
points or rating points. Rules differ from country to
country and implementing all of them would be too
complicated.
Instead, Magic Contest offers exchange of data with
any bridge federation according to a well-defined
file specification.
This, of course, requires adjustments to that
bridge federation's data system.
The idea is that Magic Contest sends a contest
report to the bridge federation. This contest report
contains contest data like date and name of the event,
member numbers, ranks and scores. When the contest
report has reached the bridge federation, that data
is used to calculate master points and rating points
according to that country's master point rules.
The file specification also includes how to send
member lists from the federation database to the clubs
in order to use the member numbers for entering names.
