WHS and club completions

National authorities here, and their overaching body, dont seem to know what each is up to is my point. Even different message from within a single national authority. It does open the door to any clubs to try the new options this year anyway, so interesting to see how many more will jump the gun. Would only be a good thing - more trial data.
Then, as you say, it's not a World Handicapping System problem.

As previously said, clubs using different allowances won’t add any new data so it would be a total waste of time.
Also totally against current rules.
If these same clubs decide to use 100% for all singles strokeplay and 90% for for 4BB, how exactly will this be a ‘good thing’ for the people who have spent their time and money playing in these competitions?

It is a WHS problem. You are splitting hairs that is nonsense in practice. Golfers play according to the WHS. It doesnt matter that there are multiple bodies involved. Your objection would be like telling someone with car trouble
- no, your car is fine. As you say, its an issue with the injectors. They are by Bosch, so it's not an Audi problem. Dont complain about Audi.
- but my Audi is faulty !
- no, your Audi has no problem

Should it be clearer : "you dont play golf according to WHS, you play according to WHS-GolfGB&I-England Golf" ?

We don't know if they'll add new data or not and it depends on what data you are looking for.

It is at least theoretically possible though not likely that different handicap incentives will provide different scoring patterns.

More pertinently, they may provide different participation rates.
