I have been trying to find what happens to completed rounds if a competition is subsequently abandoned.

Do completed rounds still count for handicap purposes or are they all reversed out?
All rounds where the minimum number of holes have been completed are acceptable for handicapping.

One of our members sent me the attached note:

I played yesterday and today I see a minor amendment of my handicap. This in itself is not at all unusual these days.. However from the 20 rounds recorded the 8 'counting rounds' remain exactly the same as they were before playing yesterday. Before the round I had 3 poor non-counting rounds at the bottom of the list, perhaps giving me the false security that a bad day would not matter greatly. I was wrong it appears because although the eight 'counting' rounds remain the same there was a minor adjustment which to my simple mind seems odd?.

He is quite correct that the round in question didn't make his top 8 and it didn't "page-out" a counting score. His HI went from 16.3 to 16.5.

No changes have been made to previous rounds and I can't see any PCC adjustments have been applied.

Any ideas?

If I had to guess, I'd say they are in the soft/hard cap zone and their low handicap index has increased.
