[CyberTOPS] Resume Question - Help

[Lori - cyberTOPS Owner]

I believe you have to fill out a white chart for them the day they quit, 
had 4 ABS or their membership expired.  Then you will fill out the A, B 
and C lines on that chart, and count them as if they were a TOPS member. 
If they weighed, for instance, 157 the first weigh in of the year, and 
weighed 155 the last time they weighed, their net loss would be 2 pounds 
for the year.  You attach their pink chart to the white chart when you 
mail it in.  The day their membership expired or they didn't weigh in 4x, 
they lost status and became TOPS.

This is one area in the WR handbook that isn't explained well enough, I 
don't believe, as far as KOPS losing status or quitting.  It tells you how 
to deal with a new KOPS, but not the other way around.

Also, in the net loss/gain area,  I know that every single year, I get the 
average loss/gain per member amount corrected by the AC, but I have no 
idea why.  We have one KOPS who is always on pink all year, and only have 
7 other members, so I can't see how I'm doing it wrong when I'm following 
the WR handbook and the instructions on the resume form.  This year I'm 
going to put a sticky on the resume asking for the reason if anything is 
changed.  I've tried to figure out how they get the number that's put on 
the corrected resume, and can't figure it out at all (and I'm very good in 
  math!)
