BTM-2013 provides the ability to detect and print award
forms for the USBC, CTF and TNBA national associations. Under certain
circumstances, these awards may not be detected or will not print. This section
is designed as an initial troubleshooting guide to assist with getting these
awards forms generated so they can be submitted to the associations
For all problems, the first step is to ensure you are running the most current update for the BTM-2013 program. For information, please see 102-How do I
