What happens when

the klaxon goes during a competition due to lightening when all the field bar two are in? Will it be RO?

Will just be calculated as normal I believe

Thanks Phil. Will tell HID not that he was winning it although two friends were first and third.

Would it not depend on the individual club rules?

 

[rulefan]

CONGU Clause 18.7 If a Qualifying Competition is abandoned for any valid reason, the Competition Scratch Score shall be regarded as equal to the Standard Scratch Score and players returning Nett Differentials of less than zero shall have their Exact Handicaps reduced to the extent dictated by the Nett Differential. A Nett Differential of zero or above shall not result in a handicap increase.

the question I would ask, especially at this time of year, is why the 2 yet to finish don't do so when the delay is over?

if the course re-opens and they only had a hole to play their issue becomes one of choice rather than the competition being abandoned surely?

Rulefan has provided the practical application of handicapping if the competition is abandoned, and there are guidance notes for committees on when it should be abandoned (but they are hardly relevant here as it's a committee decision)
