2011 / 2012 Winter Eclectic Rules and Regs

After much deliberation the rules have been finalised. This is available on the darkside too.


1) The format is to be an eclectic strokeplay over a maximum of 8 rounds to be taken before March 31st 2011.

2) For the first card, I will need either a scan, photo or detailed spreadsheet score card giving your score, Par for each hole, the SI, SSS and your handicap, via email.
PM me or send email and I will reply confirming email if necessary

3) DNF’s on the first card will count as 9, after the first card, I will just need the hole numbers where you have bettered your previous score, and of course the score.

4) If you do not keep a tally yourself, then each round will need a full scorecard.

5) ¾ handicap rounded up from 0.5. There will be no handicap adjustment unless you appear to be a complete bandit and have manipulated your handicap.

6) Par and SSS ratings for courses will undergo an entirely scientific process to equalize any differences. I will not make this up as I go along, I promise

7) Your rounds can be bounce or competition, it is totally up to you. Just have to nominate it prior to playing. Email, PM or post to the Eclectic thread.

8) I will post any results onto the board, hopefully weekly, so all can see what they have to do to make up places.

9) Gimmies – I know some of you never play gimmies whereas others do and the groups they play in expect it. Play the round as you would normally, but I would suggest that if you are putting to better your previous score on that hole, then the ball needs to drop

10) Start date is…………..The day after Remembrance Sunday. Monday 14th November.

11) Hopefully these are all the rules we need for you to enjoy yourselves. Remember, this is supposed to be just a bit of fun, and hopefully it will get exciting at some stage. However I am the judge, jury, executioner, cook, cleaner, slow poster and other choice words and phrases so what I determine goes.

1GG - can you PM me your e-mail address? I'll have a look for Saturdays card...if not I'll look to start from this coming weekend (weather/hangover dependent of course :D )

Posting the famous line:

PM for you ChrisGG

Chris, sorry mate can't take last weeks card as you hadn't nominated it. Rule 7 we do this to stop people "forgetting" to submit the bad round and "conveniently" adding in the blinder. Not saying that this was the case but other entrants have been subject to this rule too and it wouldn't be fair to accept yours afterwards.

1GG - can you tell me which race I nominated as my last.

I had a qualifying comp yesterday but I have it in my mind that I changed my last round to 31 March after losing comps to the snow in February.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you nominated March 31 but I will check for you Merc

Edit: found the post, March 31 was the only other qualifying comp available at that time for you.

Cheers, 1GG.

I got that wrong - yesterday's was also qualifying.

At least I don't have to send you details of my 10 on the 4th and 8 on the 5th . . .
