OK - here comes the Maths

Sick and tired of going to Bob and getting the same response about not being cut! Sick of listening to Colin try and explain how the competition standard scratch is calculated. Well here goes - straight from the CONGU website:

How is the Competition Scratch Score calculated?
This is not a straightforward calculation. Broadly speaking, the calculations follow

1. For Men; Discount all scores returned by category 4 players (handicaps 21 to 28), for Ladies; Discount all scores returned by category 5 players (handicaps 29 to 36)
2. Calculate the percentage of players who competed in the competition in each of categories 1, 2 and 3 [and 4 for Ladies],
3. Calculate the percentage of scores returned by the category 1, 2 and 3 [and 4] players which were two over the Standard Scratch Score of the course, or better.
4. Use the percentages from (2) and (3) to determine the Competition Scratch Score by referring to one of two published tables supplied by CONGU for the purpose.

Now please tell me your any the wiser! So stop your complaining, its not the committee who are stopping you from having your handicap cut - ITS THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!
