Anyone know how is the standard scratch score for a competition calculated?

Cheers Phil.
Looks like its not that easy to do a quick calc to check if I've made the buffer or not.

Unless everyone shoots really high, work it out from the common CSS.

If I knew how to OS I would.
It was one of our major comps off the blue tees today.
So far they are showing 97 results. (There will probably be at least another 20 NR's)
Par is 71, 19 people managed net 73 or better.
I shot net 75 so I need the CSS to be 72 to hit the buffer.

the important issue here is that you really don't need to know.
your handicapping responsibilities are based on SSS, once CSS is published the issue is over
you have no idea whether anyone has a stableford adjustment etc etc etc
non issue

Interesting - so after playing in a qualifier comp in the morning I could legitimately play off the 'wrong' handicap in a separate afternoon comp having adjusted my exact handicap following my morning round against the SSS and as a result adjusted my playing handicap - to later find out that the CSS for the morning competition meant a different (or no) adjustment to be applied to exact handicap and hence no adjustment required to playing handicap for the the afternoon comp?

Indeed, you are responsible for your handicap. If you play a second comp before the results of the 1st one have been published, no matter how much time is between them, you have a responsibility to cut yourself against SSS. You cannot however increase yourself in the same manner.

yes and no!
yes you play off a handicap that may subsequently be adjusted differently
no, at the time it's not a 'wrong' handicap!
as HawkeyeMS highlights, you never make increases only decreases,

OK - and so I have cut my exact relative to SSS and that means a cut in my actual for my afternoon comp. Then I discover that CSS for morning comp was less than SSS and as a result I need not have applied the cut in actual. For some comps (where prizes are awarded on the day) this clearly couldn't happen, but for others (such as a club monthly medal) where winner is usually not known on the day and prizes aren't awarded at end of the comp - then I guess that it could. But I can't see how you could have different rules for different comp scenarios.

I think this ones a straight yes!
You also get the situation where an early starter in the second comp with a handicap of 10.4 and a NR still plays of 10, when his mate having the same handicap and score but starting after the results are posted is now off 11.

For what its worth I made the buffer with a shot to spare.
