Adoption points

Because not all volunteer hours go toward adopting a computer, certain hours earn volunteers "points" that are accrued in order to receive a FreekBox. 24 points are generally required in order to adopt a computer (see Adoption Policy), and a volunteer may earn no more than 24 points. Once a computer is adopted, the point count resets to 0; however, another adoption is not allowed until 365 days since the last adoption.
