Competitions on 'Away' courses

[SammmeBee]

But the issue is not the format of play or the 'acceptability' of scores but the fact that the ISVs license does not permit them to transmit such scores to the WHS.

So the software is not fit for purpose then.......?!

It is fit for the purpose that Unions specified in the License.

But not for how the rules are written accordingly with your post of that nice diagram?

Not sure that an outing day could be considered regular

I found today that there has been further clarification in the Guide to the rules

Clubs are strongly encouraged to ensure that, whenever possible, competitions run in an authorized format are considered as pre-registered for use as an Acceptable Score for handicapping purposes. (GA AppendixA)

I want our away days at other courses this year to be handicap qualifying. How does this happen in practice? I assume they should be treated as General Play cards. Do you ask people to submit their own general play cards (and hope that they do?). I could always enter the scores that dont get entered by the individuals themselves. Its bonkers to me that I cant just set it up on our handicap system as a qualifier in the first place?! Whats the difference? Scores still go in as qualifiers in the end.
