As I say, shambles on a number of levels. css = +1 ?? means nothing to no one. Stating that everything has been processed, when it's obvious it hasn't. It makes no difference to my h/cap as it turns out for the weekend as I'm actually higher than I thought I was @6.1 so it's not going to be more than .6 anyway, but even so, it's just not good enough IMO.
And as if by magic, I get a call from our sec to say that it's just come thru about ten minutes ago, 4 days late

These events are actually organised and ran by Golf Scotland, a private company from Bathgate, they're on facebook but no relation to Scottish Golf .
They use different courses all over Scotland using different formats. Clubs pay them to advertise and run the events.
I'm not sure how they work out the Vcss if there is one, as it's nearly all visitors that take part.:thup:

I'm guessing it's just worked out as per normal css etc, though this has been a bit of a mess and I guess for others who also competed. Frustrating thing was them saying it had all been done and processed, now it may well have but somewhere along the line it's taken 4 days to sort out.

I'm enjoying it, due to my youthful exuberance I'm able to keep up with the old duffers off the tee :whoo:

Maybe I've taken a very simplistic view that Cabby might have got his SSSs and CSSs mixed up. My first thought was that perhaps CSS was SSS+1.
I didn't get it mixed up, they most certainly sent an email and announced on their site that the css = +1, what I have subsequently found out is, that css = +1 actually means, SSS +1.
Not sure if you understand that, but for someone who doesn't play stableford, this may well always be the case of how it's released or what it stands for, for me personally, it meant nothing though I suspect for future events, when they say css = +1 or 2 or whatever, it will mean the SSS + whatever.....
Even reading that back just sounds absolute gobbledegook, guess that's stableford for you.

Err... as many have already tried to say in the thread, that was blindingly obvious from the outset? And would be relevant regardless of whether the competion was medal or stableford. That CSS was expressed as "CSS =+1" is nothing to do with the comp being stableford. Am afraid one can't put one's lack of understanding down the format, no matter how much one would like to ...

Blindingly obvious to some, not to me. For someone who rarely ever plays stabelford I have/had no understanding what css = +1 meant.

Been said a few times but the format is irrelevant
What format you played didn’t cause any of the confusion or issues. Would stop looking towards the format being the issue
I'm not saying the format was the issue was more my lack of knowledge of how the format gives it's css, for me, css = +1 meant absolutely nothing, to regular stableford players, it probably made perfect sense.

Would it have made any more or less sense if it had been Medal?
To me yes, 76 blows, less 6 = 70, then they say css is ??? 72 for example, then I would know immediately how I fared.

I've never seen Stableford CSS represented as simply/confusingly as what the OP posted. (delete as applicable)
When our club does our S'ford results the CSS is allways expressed in terms of S'ford points.
Its not the format that is the issue, its how the organising committee have decided to publish the results.
