The category "Regular" (a) to count only literature which is actually sold for some profit (ideally double BBT price) and given into the hands of the receivers personally. (b) literature distributed by accepting post dated checks shall only be counted when at least the BBT price has been received. 2. The new category "Subsidized" for the following methods of distribution for individuals: (a) devotees working in teams of two or more and recording their group effort as one score. (b) subsidized books which are sold for BBT price or less. (c) sponsored books which are given to people who can value them (i.e. VIPs, libraries, schools, prisons, etc.). Those individuals who are doing these types of subsidized distribution must specify it when reporting scores to the newsletter. Temple and Country scores stay the same. There is no need to report temple scores in two categories. 3. Free distribution Free distribution by individuals and temples who give out literature free of cost shall not be counted in the newsletter (except as provided for in "Subsidized" above).
