Florida Players Points System Spring 2022
Click here to see the current points breakdown!
- This point system will go into effect August 23rd, 2021. Updates (decided by the Secretary between the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters on 12/29/21) will go into effect January 5th, 2022.
- In order to be an official member of Florida Players, one must be active in earning a minimum of 12 points per academic year (or 6 points per semester), meaning that the number of points and the minimum attendance requirements (see 3.) are both completed by the end of the academic year.
- Members of Florida Players must achieve the following minimum attendance requirements by the end of the academic year to be considered an active member.
- Minimum attendance of three (3) General Body Meetings (GBM’s)
- If an individual is unable to make any GBM’s due to extenuating circumstances (work, conflicting clubs, emergency, etc.) the Secretary may selectively waive this requirement and allow it to be made up. This requirement can be made up through the following:
- Attendance at 3 Special Events (including workshops, social events, fundraisers, etc.) past the minimum of 1 for member requirements
- Providing a confirmation of having read FP Newsletter through short summary 3 times
- Participating in three strike/builds/load in events for FP shows outside of a requirement to be at these events (production/crew/performance in these shows or an eboard member)
- Any mix of the above three options, for a total of three recorded attendances.
- Please note that this does not automatically include special events/newsletter confirmations/builds (etc.) as the GBM requirement. This is only on an individual, case-to-case basis that occurs through communication with the Florida Players Secretary.
- If an individual is unable to make any GBM’s due to extenuating circumstances (work, conflicting clubs, emergency, etc.) the Secretary may selectively waive this requirement and allow it to be made up. This requirement can be made up through the following:
- Minimum attendance of one (1) Social Event or Special Event or Workshop
- Minimum [participation in (crew/production/acting/etc.) or attendance of] one (1) Florida Players Production
- Minimum of 6 points.
- Minimum attendance of three (3) General Body Meetings (GBM’s)
- How to Earn Points with Florida Players: See Points Breakdown.
- Member status will allow the following:
- To vote in any FP election (both Regular and Special)
- To vote on Constitutional Changes
- To run for any Executive Board positions
- To become a Florida Players Mentor
- For voter status, the point totals will reset at the end of the academic year and new points must be actively earned to renew this status.
- While 12 points/year (or 6 points/semester) is the minimum to be a voting member, those who earn more could be subject to certain perks. This is the Florida Players Tier List, described as followed
- Tier 0: 6 Points
- Become an active member, status as described in article 2
- FP Membership Button
- Tier 1: 18 Points
- Early access to Florida Players Ticket Reservations
- Tier 2: 24 Points
- Pre-scheduling Audition Slots
- Tier 0: 6 Points
*These points would carry over from the previous semester to determine perk eligibility, but will reset for the following semester. This gives members who join no matter the semester the motivation to stay active
(Ex. Shannon earned 18 points for Fall semester, giving her the ability to pre-schedule auditions and reserve tickets early in the Spring. To keep these perks going into next Fall, Shannon needs to earn the point minimum again in the Spring)
- To reiterate, points for votership are accumulated every year. Points for the tier list are accumulated every semester.
- Any member who is inactive for two semesters back-to-back will be removed from our point system and emailing list; if they rejoin they will need to provide their contact information again.

Mentor/Mentee Family Tree Evidenced Meeting/Outing*: 2 points (Grandmentor, etc.) (Submit evidence to “Points Proof” Google Form).
*Evidenced Outings are considered meetups between mentor/mentees that are separate from Florida Players events. For example, if a mentor and mentee went to a museum together (and took a picture together and submitted it to the Google Form), that would be considered a mentor/mentee evidenced outing. But if the “outing” were a Florida Players show or fundraiser, that would not count, as it is connected to the organization. Those points would be given under a separate, specific category.
