Then it is lucky we are all different then and sure many others agree and see it is not fair

Sorry not quite understanding, CH is rounded in singles

But if you do it to the boundaries of CH/PH, as in my case, 14.6 max lower and 14.7 min higher, all players also get a game but on a fairer basis. And because as you say handicaps are volatile you can put your name down for both, if on a border handicap, and go into the relevant draw when it is...

Are they singles and are the upper boundaries for PH/CH equal to the index limits?

Yes my club does this with 2 singles KOs, but still unfair. Work this one out. The low one is max to enter 14.9, 18CH only goes up to 14.6, so 19CH starts 14.7. The high one max entry 15.0, so players 14.7 to 14.9 are still 19CH cannot enter. You have CH19 in the lower one and some CH19 not...

No it is 16.9, just sticking up for fairness.

You presume wrongly. Just sticking up for something I feel is wrong. If the cut off has to be somewhere what is wrong with to the fairer solution suggested? And getting the index below the threshold would do no good if already excluded would it?

Yes it is simple to give guidelines, not instructions. So why not do this? Then members can question a committee, knowing it is at the very least advised.

It has been suggested to have a mens singles knockout competition with the choice in each round to use forward or backward tees. If anyone has got this in place at their club is it possible to post here the terms of competition?

I am sorry, but it is easy to see you have just made up your example of your men's singles KO can be played from either white or yellow tees. Are you prepared to send the full terms for this?

I always thought one reason to have clear terms of competition was to stop any disagreements. Just like the purpose of having a course marked out properly? Your club must be fun to be a member of?

What if they have exactly the same HI at time of draw, is that when they toss a coin?

So one can insists on white and the other insists on yellow, do they toss a coin or something?

How does that work then with your KO if one wants to play white and the other yellow?

Your example is not relevant. I was talking about singles knockouts, always played off the same competition tee. You say it makes sense and then say it is fair. Try putting yourself in the position of the person that cannot enter.
