Non active handicaps were accepted in regionals but you had to be Congu active to win a place in the final hence why all finalists were active.

Right, why don't we try and cut through some of the rubbish.
Yes there was a vote, whether it was just to get an idea or not, I don't know.
No one has asked for it to be played off scratch.
At the end of the day DFS come up with a middle way, which should have settled it which was a stableford and a medal winner. 2 entries from each region.
Have you thought of the positives:-
It will save another million posts of arguing.
We can concentrate on actually getting the whole thing organised, and more efforts on ringing potential courses, getting deals, setting up dates etc.
We can have a bit of fun with the king/queen COCK thing.
Two qualifiers from each region can mean that they can potentially travel with each other to the finals.
This is a thankless task, and last years organiser was nearly driven out by the mob, do we want that again?
So by all means, keep up the personal insults, the same ad finitum arguments, but in the end you may win your argument but we may end up with nothing.

Then the comp has changed since last time, it was open to all this year. I appreciate you organising the regional, but the rules must be the same for all. Either non handicap golfers are welcome or they're not. None of this they can play but can't win.

I had mates play last year and they had handicaps however they were not forum members so were not eligible
for the final.
As I believe last year all my entrants had active handicaps.

As I said it doesn't bother me either way and hopefully I'll still be organising and playing in an East Anglia regional event if we get enough interest.
Were people without active handicaps still allowed to come along and play on finals day and treat it as a forum meet or was it only those with active handicaps that were allowed to take part?

Agreed
We need to shut down the 3 threads going and someone needs to grab the bull by the horns
and set the rules and start a definitive thread.

Finals day was a normal forum meet other than the finalists.

That makes sense last years was a success? So why not just use the same rules which can't be tracked quite easily.
The biggest issue I can see is that nondate or venue is sorted yet to work through the financial bits and bobs.

Until 09:20 this morning there was no issue
The organiser D4S started the thead to see what we prefer and stated in the first post that we will go with the general consensus
Now a few loud voices complaining about stableford being used - purest form of golf etc etc etc and its turned into this serious comp so must be played of medal etc etc
I must have the wrong idea about this but it appears that this is too serious for me so on that note im out and quite disappointed that a few couldnt accept the majority choice.

How sad that a couple of people want to just add post after post with snide comments and points scoring and detract from the sterling efforts people have put in to try and give something viable for the masses. Same everytime
However from my perspective, last year at the KoK qualifier I won so magnificently on countback from RickG, there were very few gripes from anyone including those who ha played themselves out of contention with some big numbers. It was a day out at a cracking course in good company and let's be honest, if it was about the winning you should be packing your job in and getting on tour
I'm more than happy to go with the flow though and have no issues with going with whatever makes the life of the organisers both at the top level, down through the individual events as easy and less time consuming as possible. Didn't someone write something about pleasing all of the people.....
The great thing though with this forum (and you're going to laugh given the squabbling and childish name calling we get) is that it's pretty inclusive and for the majority everyone is welcomed into the fold. That means newbie golfers, those without club membership and those without handicaps and to be honest it would be sad if there was a degree of exclusivity attached to this just because someone didn't have a handicap. With so much angst and anger vented every time the word bandit is mentioned, do we really think on "of our own" would deliberately go out to hoodwink the event with a bogus handicap?
My mini rant :rant: over and very happy to go with whatever is decided. If the South East get really desperate I'll even tip my hat into the ring for trying to get something sorted at my place. However in the mean time can those that just want to find fault (and it's obvious on here who they all are) refrain from hitting the enter button :thup: and let those trying to give us all something to enjoy get on with it

Quality post Homer but probably the biggest load of rubbish you've spouted yet.
You are the squabbling childish person.
And if it wasn't about the winning why do you constantly dine out on it.
It's not often I win anything and don't actually recall posting too much on here before it all kicked off. I give you exhibit A on exactly what I'm talking about

I agree, it was all pretty civil until homie decided it wasn't
I know he's being ironic with his mentioning of 'his' win, but the rest of it is pretty standard.
Your message does drown somewhat homie in the well of absolute pomposity.

If those without active handicaps are not able to win a place on the finals day does this mean that they do not have to pay the £10 entry fee for the competition to become the massive C.O.C.K. champion and just pay whatever the event fee is for the regional qualifier and treat it as a normal forum meet?
Apologies for all the questions but if I do organise a regional event I thought it would be best to know how it works first.

Whatever
Oh no you didn't (wagging my finger smiley)!!!
Sorry we seem to have morphed into teenage girls
I reckon the regional organisers should form a commitee and draw up the format and rules between them. Too many voices etc.
We can book the day and decide on whatever format prior to homer winning again :thup:

We never charged the £10 if you couldn't be in the final
Finally...wise words. I'm off to cause my mayhem elsewhere and let them crack on
