CSS & NRs

[c1973]

When competitors NR in a medal comp does this impact on the CSS for that comp? If so what would it be generally, would it lower or raise the CSS?

Also, if it does have an adverse effect what are your opinions on competitors doing this? I reckon you should hand in a score regardless of how poorly you have played.

No difference between an NR and a score outside Buffer

So no impact on CSS then. Thanks.

If the N/Rs are Cat 1, 2 or 3, they will contribute to the number of "worse than buffers" and the CSS will go up if there's enough of them.

CONGU expects all competitors to submit scorecards for competitions they have entered and played. Clubs have sanctions available for repeat offenders.

Thanks. I've only just started competing in medals and I was a little unsure about the CSS NR relationship in a comp.

NR's don't make a difference on CSS

We don't have a captains bunker so have suggested that anyone who NR's puts a pound in the charity jar.

Careful about the way that's interpreted!

As Rosecott and I posted, they have the same effect as a score outside Buffer. So if there are enough NRs, they will make a difference - in the same way that sufficient scores outside Buffer will.

They are certainly not discounted/ignored for CSS calculation - something quite a few folk seem to think, perhaps because of mis-interpreting the above.

If the competitors that NR had handed in the cards (let's assume they were cat 1,2 & 3) and were out with the buffer, would that raise the CSS?

My thinking was that NRs (as described) would keep the CSS lower, thus having a negative impact on higher handicaps obtaining a cut. Would that be the correct assumption?

I only ask as I like to have a good knowledge of the sport when competing.

No!

ANY NR has the same effect as missing buffer - irrespective of whether it's handed in or 'assumed'.

Appendix B of the Congu Manual (here's the English one) http://www.englandgolf.org/e-brochure/index.html shows the procedure

Note that A,B,C,D values include NRs (and DQs)
