How do I display total MPs in a multi-session event

[BruceMM]

Hey,
When I run a multi-session pairs event, say 2 qualifying session then final & consolations, I am unable to display the totals MPs in the final and consolations. Total MPs being the sum of session MPs plus outright MPs.
I can see that ASE8 records both lots of MPs, but I can't find a report that shows the total.
Also our club uses bridge-club.orgs functions to post results to website.
The total MPs don't display on those reports either.
Can it be done?

Cheers

The reports are for an event.
So if there are 3 sessions in an event and session 3 is marked in masterpointing as the last session then the default automatic report will show the session, outright and total masterpoints in the outright report.

Where you have two separate events then masterpoint reporting is separate too, in each event.

Thanks Ian,
I made significant progress, but still can't quite get it right.
For an event that is progressive, ie same field over many sessions I can nominate the last session as the final and ASE8 does everything wonderfully.

Now when I try to have qualifying sessions and then a final and a consolation I can't get it right all in one ASE8 event.

I have 2 qualifying sessions of 7 tables and that it all OK. I then create a 3rd session as a 3 table Howell for the final. When I score that up, all the options look good, set Event Level as h: finals, sessions 3 and it displays the correct MPs.
Complete the scoring and the session result are correct, but the outright results don't reflect the competition structure. The outright results are the sum of matchpoints across the 3 sessions.

Did I miss a setting to nominate the 3rd session as a final as opposed to the final session of 3.

I didn't try creating the 4th session for the consolation.

Alternatively I tried a new ASE8 event for the final.
That scores correctly and I can setup the outright MPs correctly, but the reports don't show the outright MPs or Total MPs. The session report is correct and shows the session MPs. The outright report only shows matchpoints, no MPs at all.
Did I miss something?

NB my query is about reporting only, ASE8 is allocating the MPs correctly.

cheers

The reports are on an event basis.
You cannot include more than one event in an event report, whether it be a session or an outright report.
The last session indicator needs to be set in the masterpoint screen for the oputright masterpoints to be produced.
Also some reports, by choice, may not include any masterpoints.
