For the second time in a row I have a DQ controversy over my score.
Last time I DQ'd myself as I was processing the cards but today is different, I processed the cards and published the result but then discovered a problem.
I got a lot of micky taking for last time, so I doubled, tripled checked my card before I dropped it into the box after our stableford comp today. I thought all was well so I closed the comp and published the results. In the bar afterwards the capt said somewhat jokingly that "I hope that you got both markers signatures on the card" , and then I instantly knew I could have breached a ruling. I checked the cards and sure enough only 2 signatures , mine and the marker (2nd marker).
At the 9th hole one of our 4 ball retired injured , so with a 3 ball my scorecard was passed to another player to mark for the back nine.
I showed the capt the card and I told him that I need to DQ myself again. He disagreed as the competition was closed and far as he was concerned the result stands.
I didn't win today but my 4th place earned me valuable OOM points (or so I thought) and put me into an unassailable lead with just 1 comp remaining.
Sounds like I have no choice but to retrospectively DQ myself and re-publish the results. Please confirm my fate.
