How do I Limit the Difference in Playing Handicaps between Team Partners?

Updated over 4 months ago

Q: I am setting up a four-ball stroke play event and would like to limit the difference in Playing Handicaps between all the partners. If teammates Playing Handicaps differ more than 8 strokes, I'd like to apply another 10% reduction to their Playing Handicaps. How do I set this up?

A: Make sure to create teams first. Then go to Rounds > Tournaments > New Tournament. Create a Team (pair) competition. Then go to the Advanced Options for Handicaps (as shown below). Select the option and enter the settings.

After enabling this setting, save the tournament.

When the Adjustments will be applied:

When the tournament is set up to Limit the difference between team partners by reducing each player’s handicap by an additional percentage, the limit should be applied:

  • After Handicap Allowance Adjustment

  • Before any Par Adjustment, if required

When the tournament is set up to Limit the difference between team partners by reducing the higher handicap by a fixed number of strokes, the limit should be applied:

  • After Handicap Allowance Adjustment

  • After any Par Adjustment, if required
