New handicap system
- 1. NEW HANDICAP SYSTEM FOR GOLF CROQUET IMPLEMENTED BY THE CROQUET ASSOCIATION FOR THE 2016 SEASON ONWARDS Produced by Art Wardle Click to move on
- 2. Produced by Art Wardle The Croquet Association have rolled out a new GC handicap system for the 2016 season onwards to be adopted by all affiliated clubs when playing games conducted to the official CA rules of Golf Croquet. The new system was developed after studying over 8000 matches over the last year and it is believed that the new system will make games between handicap players more fair. The range of handicaps has been increased from (-3 to +12) to (-6 to +20), and the trigger points at which players handicaps change, up or down, amended. ‘Effective’ handicaps will no longer be used.

- 3. Produced by Art Wardle As far as the BCC is concerned all handicaps issued for the 2016 season are not affected by the new system, save changing from the old numbering system to the new. If your existing handicap is in the range 12 to 3 (inclusive), convert your index as follows: o If your existing handicap is between 12 and 6, keep your handicap and add 1100 to your existing index to get your new index. o If your existing handicap is 5, keep your handicap and add 1150 to your existing index. o If your existing handicap is 4 or 3, add 1200 to your existing index. If by doing so your new index is 1800 or above your new handicap becomes 2. Click to move on

The table below shows the nominal Indexes for each handicap and therefore the trigger points above and below each handicap at which your handicap will change. For example, the nominal Index for handicap 5 is 1500. Games lost or won will change your index and when you reach 1600 your handicap will change to 4. Conversely, when you reach 1400 your handicap will change to 6. Click to move on

- 6. Your initial handicap will have been set by the BCC handicapper but this can be adjusted (by a minimum of 2, up or down) at any time by the BCC handicapper or at the request of a player if you think your handicap is incorrect. Your handicap card is used to keep a track of your Index as it changes when you play ‘Recordable Matches’. Recordable matches are those that you and your opponent agree will be played under the official rules of Golf Croquet as issued by the Croquet Association. These matches will include, BCC Tournaments, Open tournaments at other clubs, Southern Federation League matches, and BCC Ladder matches. Produced by Art Wardle Click to move on
