Using 3/4's for 4BBB Comps

[Deleted member 16999]

Bit of help please, I've searched and can't find the answer.
Can a Club run a 4BBB Comp of 3/4's Handicap either as an Open or for members only?
I thought it was mandatory for 90% as at 2016

We have a couple of comps 1 is Single matchplay and the rules of the comp (which has been going for 20+ years) state it is 50% difference between players.

The doubles has always been 3/4's.

Some members were asking if we had to change the rules or can we do what we like?

The allowances specified by CONGU are compulsory.
The ultimate sanction would be suspension from the facility to use the system. ie all members would lose their handicaps.

This very thing came up at our county meeting, the response from the county officials was "Of course you can do what you want - providing you don't want to be affiliated ".
