OB You don't handicap 4BBB cards??We do 4BBB stableford and par and we don’t bother scanning for any cards that may be eligible for handicapping. Compulsory handicapping has not yet been introduced – it was one of the items delayed in the last suspension of steps.
If it is re-introduced, we will change our events to be 13-club events thus making them ineligible for handicapping.

Ditto Daves That's what I doAs far as I am aware compulsory handicapping is still required under the rules. The proposed changes may be in suspension, but the old requirement (42 points, 9 scores on the card etc) is still very much in force.

For our club it has always been a novelty event and will stay that way.We do 4BBB stableford and par and we don’t bother scanning for any cards that may be eligible for handicapping. Compulsory handicapping has not yet been introduced – it was one of the items delayed in the last suspension of steps.
If it is re-introduced, we will change our events to be 13-club events thus making them ineligible for handicapping.

You'd have to be very poor at maths not to be able to calculate your adjusted score for 4BBB Peg. If that's what you're finding then I guess it's because they haven't taken the time to read up on the new method of calculation . Have to admit that I still come across people who believe that you have to be on the card 12 times to get chopped.Well this is one occasion where we disagree. I view 4BBB comps as an opportunity to gain some revenge on those who wish to manipulate their handicaps. It is amazing how they can miscalculate in a 4BBB comp, especially when there is a decent prize on offer.
Revenge shall be that of the handicapper on these occasions
