Foursomes handicap difference

[Green Bay Hacker]

My daughter played in our ladies foursomes comp a couple of days ago and the rules are that they play half the difference between the combined handicaps. The difference was 1 so half of that is 0.5 and I would expect that to be rounded up to 1 but the ladies handicap secretary says it is rounded down so no shots given. Is this correct as 0.5 is normally rounded up?

When we play this at ours the .5 goes up

Yes that's the same as we play but apparently the ladies handicap sec says she has looked it up and she is correct! I will ask her what happens if it is 0.6, 0.7 etc.

Thanks for the reference.
