Understanding the Points System

Once the Ownership>Revenue Pooling application function is set to Y, the points calculation system is available and points are automatically calculated. The points system allows multiple records to be configured, allowing a property to allocate points for unit elements or any other item that is determined to be of value. Points are calculated based on a unit element and multipliers (the quantity of an element that a unit possesses) that are assigned to the contract.

For example, for Hotel A, which participates in Revenue Pooling, the point values are as follows:

Element	Points
Bedroom	10 points per room
Parking Space	2 points per space
Ocean View	1 Point

Therefore, points can be assigned to a unit in Hotel A as follows:

A single bedroom with Ocean View rates 11 points [10 points x multiplier (1) + 1 points x multiplier (1)]
A single bedroom with parking spot rates 12 points [10 points x multiplier (1) + 2 points x multiplier (1)]
A double bedroom with parking spot rates 22 points [10 points x multiplier (2) + 2 points x multiplier (1)]

The multiplier also allows the ability to give fractional credits to the value of items. For example, a two-bedroom unit may only increase the point value by a factor of 1.2, rather than 2.

Statements and possibly other printed media provide a description of the elements and multipliers to explain point allocation, and how funds are distributed.
