How do I Limit the Difference in Playing Handicaps between Team Partners?

Q: I am setting up a four-ball stroke play event and would like to limit the difference in Playing Handicaps between all the partners. If teammates Playing Handicaps differ more than 8 strokes, I'd like to apply another 10% reduction to their Playing Handicaps. How do I set this up?

A: Make sure to create teams first. Then go to Rounds > Tournaments > New Tournament. Create a Team (pair) competition. Then go to the Advanced Options for Handicaps (as shown below). Select the option and enter the settings.

After enabling this setting, save the tournament.
​

When the Adjustments will be applied:

When the tournament is set up to Limit the difference between team partners by reducing each player’s handicap by an additional percentage, the limit should be applied:

  • After Handicap Allowance Adjustment

  • Before any Par Adjustment, if required

When the tournament is set up to Limit the difference between team partners by reducing the higher handicap by a fixed number of strokes, the limit should be applied:

  • After Handicap Allowance Adjustment

  • After any Par Adjustment, if required
