Moving into Cat 1

[Deleted member 15344]

When I was the HC sec I’m sure that a player couldn’t move into Cat 1 using a Supplementary Card or an ESR

You had to get the cut in a Comp round

Has that changed over the last year or so ?

Cat 2 to 4 can return as many Supp scores as they like. Cat 1 can only return Supp scores from Sept 1st to Dec 31st, and only to satisfy the requirement of the number of cards to retain an active handicap. The County Union can give permission for more Supp scores from Cat 1.

Doesn't say anything about the Supp score from a Cat 2 seeing a cut into Cat 1.

Don't believe so. Only exception is for someone who is allowed to put in Sup. cards late in season to ensure you keep a "C" handicap.

An ESR will be restricted where it would reduce a Category 2 player into Category 1. Handicap reductions in such situations will only be able to reduce a player’s handicap to 5.5.

Supplementary scores are processed automatically.

My understanding was last year you were only able to play one supp. a week/month (can't recall which one it was) My current understanding is that as of 2019 a cat 1 player could play as many as they wish.

N.B. I may have completely misunderstood all or some of the above.

EDIT: I've misread the OP

A Member is limited to a number of Supplementary Scores in each year as detailed in below:
(a) subject to (c) below, Category 1 players may only return Supplementary Scores during the period 1 September to 31 December and only to the extent necessary to ensure that the minimum requirement for Qualifying Scores under Clause 25 is met. Category 1 players may only return Supplementary Scores over 18 holes;
(b) any number of Supplementary Scores may be returned annually by players in Categories 2 to 6;
(c) a Union has the discretion to permit Category 1 players with handicaps in the range 2.5 to 5.4 to return Supplementary Scores in a calendar year. Such scores may only be returned at the player’s Home club within that Union’s jurisdiction. Scotland directs that Category 1 players within this handicap range may take up this discretion. England, Ireland, and Wales make no such direction.
(d) A Category 1 player has an additional dispensation when they commence the calendar year without a ‘Competition’ status. They may submit Supplementary Scores at any time of the year, but only in sufficient numbers to regain the ‘c’ status (i.e. a maximum of 3

I know I've been cut this year on a supp, which was at my home course.

So you can go to Cat 1 with a Supplementary score ?

Yes 👍

You can at my place, although it will take a month to get the card processed
