Signing a scorecard

[Crazyface]

Now that's a bad attitude for a competition sec!

They probably meant how many they HAVE to disqualify.

Would it be any better if 'can' was replaced by 'have to'? Many of the scorecard boxes I've seen have warnings reminding players to ensure they have signed their card. As for signing own scorecard before playing, I can't see the difference between that and using the checking process as a memory trigger to do so!

Have to would make a huge difference. It could be said with regret at having to DQ people, irritation perhaps because they don't learn a lesson but could not have the suggestion of gleeful anticipation, of looking forward to the action that is suggested by can.
