To my fellow, more experienced handicap secretaries, is it possible to have a CSS of 70, SSS of 68 and yet be reductions only?
 
Thanks Duncan - that's what I thought. So +3 can be either/or?

SSS+3 RO kicks in when even less players, as a percentage, manage to play to their buffer zone than would justify SSS+3

as an example (haven't the sheets here so it's indicative!) SSS+3 might be for between 7 and 9% of field and SSS+3RO would be for 6% and less - fields of 10+ and the % change dependent on the proportion of the various category players.

Thanks - makes sense - sort of! We have had a couple of Men's Reductions Only lately yet the Congu changes have seen none in the Ladies Section (which is a very good thing)!
