Banditry, a form of cheating, is a potential problem for any handicap comp. We have had similar issues here for high value prizes.When first introduced, winning scores were high 40's and some in the 50's stable-ford, they then changed from best 10 cards out of last 20 games to 8 cards, then they added the cap (can only go out 5 shots in a calendar year) and then the multiply handicap by .93 , then came the soft cap of handicap increase, am sure I have missed a couple, winning scores have come down but still the handicap can be manipulated quite easily.
So when the Open or gold letter events roll round out come the bandits and scores back in the middle to high 40's, single figure has no chance, I shot 2 under off a 5 handicap and came no where, great day out but thanks for making up the numbers.
Stick to Scratch comps if you want to avoid that scourge!
