For affiliated clubs, CONGU regulations are quite clear - 90% is mandatory for 4BBB.

See CONGU Manual Appendix F [p.72]

So can a club do a individual open and make it off 3/4?

I presume they can fam. League To Dubai run their singles comp off 3/4 official handicap. However it could be that as they are just an organising company they can do it but an individual club can not

No they can't, your last sentence is correct.

I asked this mate and got the answer, Yes for prizes and No for Handicap if it's to be a qualifier, ie The Pauldj Cup - Ind Stroke - non-qualifier - 3/4 Handicap.

If it's a qualifier, You would have to state 100% handicap, prizes to awarded off 3/4 handicap.

The League To Dubai organisation is not licensed by CONGU nor affiliated to England Golf so cannot run qualifying competitions.
No sanctions can be taken against them as can be against affiliated clubs

So can a congu affiliated club hold an individual Open Comp and make it 3/4 handicap? Should it not be 90%?

As Phil put it should be 100% to make it a qualifier, as it's an Open I'd suggest no.

I asked the question for our Club as it was a members only comp in memory of a another member who'd recently died.

CONGU advise Clubs to stay within the rules but acknowledge some club comps don't conform.

Individual it should be full HC

I know it should, but to make it non qualifying??

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at but this is from the CONGU manual:

"It is against the spirit and intent of the system to adjust the terms and conditions of a competition deliberately, so that it is rendered non-qualifying on a technicality."
