Converting a Nett Points score to a Gross Points score.

[Capella]

Sean won gross with 34 gross points off 9. But when you add 9 to 34 you get 43 so therefore he win the overall comp. So that's why I know what I was thinking above was wrong.. Lol

At our club, the best gross score is always determined first. Guy (or at our club much more likely: girl) with the highest gross score (Stabelford) wins the gross comp, but is then not eligible for the netto comp anymore. I guess, that's what happened here as well. Sean wins the gross prize and is then out of the calculation for the netto prizes, even if his netto score was higher than that of the others.

A competition secretary really should know the system or know how to work something out. That answer really is not satisfactory.

If they volunteer their time you can't blame them, they are probably doing their best.

Yeah he doesn't get a bean for it. Plus closes out the comps mid week and weekends including mixed and non qualifying comps

If it's deffo gross points and not gross score then all you do is subtract your handicap.

Gross points is effectively net points for a scratch handicap. Stableford adjustment is not an issue going from net to gross as any net blobs will still be gross blobs.

Actually, scratch that as it's rubbish of course!!

But at least I now know it's rubbish because I know how to work it out.

As an example, if my handicap is 1 and I shoot 35 points net, my gross points total depends on how many points I got on hole SI 1 as I get a shot on that hole. If I got a blob then my net and gross points totals are the same. If I scored any points at all on that hole then my points total for that hole would be reduced by 1, goving me a gross total of 34 in this example.

This would need to be repeated for higher handicappers for every hole they receive a shot on to calculate a gross points total.

3 pages on this?

Forget you have a handicap, go through what you scored gross on each hole , work out how many points that gives you on each hole, add the points up. Simple.

^^This.

Converting net points into gross points isn't always possible, since, like ger147 pointed out, the outcome depends on the allocation of shots taken on the holes you get shots on.

It has my head melted lol here is a screen shot dated 21st of May



I know the gross score winner it's definitely worked out a different way

My first thinking was this

Timmy had a 41 and got 3rd place and it was by BOT so therefore someone else got a 41. But 4th place was 40 so therefore only other person would have been Reece and 35 plus 6 is 41. So bingo.

But then last month blows that out of water lol. I will get the screen shot here now

why would Reece get 6 points ADDED to his score ?,the six showing on your photo is his h/cap which has already been taken into account ,thus giving him 35pts.

the best gross is just that ,he shot the best gross score on the day but only scored 35pts
i really cant see your problem mate .

I questioned him one time before about getting 0.1 back in a stroke comp when I was sitting 12 place out of 100 people. His answer, i don't know it's done by the computer lol

Finishing 12th is not a measure of how you played in relation to your handicap and SSS/CSS - i.e. whether you buffered or not. It is down to the proportion of the 100 entrants who managed to buffer or better. which determines the CSS.

Almost!

It's not possible to work it out definitely because a nett double bogey (say gross double on a non shot hole; triple on a shot hole etc) scores the same zero stableford points as a nett quadruple bogey (or gross quad; gross +5 etc!!)!

There aren't many Handicap/Comp Secretaries that know precisely HOW a particular CSS is calculated, but all of them should know THAT a CSS is calculated (generally by the computer)! So the Comp-Sec's statement was quite reasonable!

And as Rosecott states, ranking is no indication of buffer or cut, nor is distance from winning score! It's a common myth to think that someone having a great day and scoring miles under SSS will affect the CSS any more than someone playing to spot on SSS!

Only thing is on the second pic Sean won gross prize with 34 points.

Surely off 9 if you ad that to his gross points score he win overall with 43? The winner that day had 41 points

As I said: gross win trumps netto win and you can only have one. Sean won the gross comp, so he is not eligible for the netto win as well, even though very likely he scored 43 netto points.
