New 4BBB Calculation

[brfcfan]

Hi Is anyone clear on how to work this out. I have been told different ways, one where you don’t round at all and secondly where you round before taking 90% off the difference to the low man?

Start with the rounded Course Handicaps and add any par (mixed tee) adjustments.
Strokes received are then 90% of the difference from the lowest.

I can understand BRFCfan's confusion

The EG Guidance on the change says what you are saying but the example in in the WHS guidance on the rules (page 43) shows another in their example, with CR mixed adjustments being made after taking off 90% and then using the difference in PH (or is that it is just badly written).

I've been looking at the language used in the various missives I found on the 'net... some of them are really confusing.

Assuming the app gives you your rounded course handicap, it's just 90% difference from lowest player's ch.
Showing the maths makes it more complicated. I'm wondering why folk would go anywhere near it. (actually, I know why!)

Yes one of the troubles is that the example shown in the book (see post #4) shows each man playing off a different tee (when would that happen in the real world) against 2 ladies off another tee.

I saw that and thought, oh my, stick that example in a separate paragraph/chapter/appendix!

Get folk understanding the process before illustrating the variations.
