Handicap rules
How are handicaps changed?+
The app does it automatically when the day is closed. Every change is logged with its reason on the Players page.
What if I win?+
The Saturday winner is cut 1 shot.
What about the 2s pot?+
Anyone who scores a 2 on any hole is cut 1 shot. If several players score a 2, they are all cut.
What if I score over 36 points?+
You are cut 1 shot for every point over 36. Example: 39 points = 3 shots cut.
Can I go back up?+
Yes. If your points plus blobs add up to less than 30, you get 1 shot back.
What if I pull out?+
Withdraw after the draw: cut 1.
Withdraw on the Saturday: cut 2.
No-show without notice: cut 3.
Which handicap is used on the day?+
Your society handicap, turned into shots for the tee you choose. Pick your tee before entering scores so the right shots are given.

Eclectic+
Your best gross score on each of the 18 holes across the year. Once every hole has a score, your total against par is shown.
Best 3 from 4 teams+
Each group entered together is a team. On every hole the best 3 Stableford points out of the 4 count; the 18 holes are added up for the team score.
Teams of 3: when the day is closed, a random card from the field is drawn to join them, then best 3 from 4 is worked out hole by hole. The drawn player wins nothing.
Teams level on points are split on the team's back 9, then last 6, last 3 and the 18th.
Money
What does it cost?+
£3 each week: £1 to the 2s pot, £1 to the singles winner, £1 to the winning team.
2s pot+
Shared between everyone who scores a 2. If nobody does, it carries over to next week.
Team money+
Shared by the winning team's own players, 3 or 4 ways. A blind card drawn to make up a team of 3 does not win money.
Tie-breakers
How are ties settled?+
Countback: best back 9, then last 6, last 3, then the last hole.
Do teams use countback?+
Not yet. Teams level on points stay in the order they are listed.
