9. Certificate Table (Optional) - this section contains detail information about the events contained in this certificate attended by the person. It will be displayed like a table containing information you want displayed. The following data values can be included:

$EventName-EventName,$Description-Description,$Location-Location,$TimeIn-TimeIn,$TimeOut-TimeOut,$PointsEarned-PointsEarned,$TotalPoints-TotalPoints
