Handicap Pairs for the Evans Handicap Cup

The Handicap Pairs is held twice a year, usually in October and March. Handicaps are calculated by the scorer from the pairs results since the last Handicap Cup.

Rules

The handicap result is obtained by adding the mean (average) of the handicaps for each player to the result obtained from a normal duplicate pairs competition.

The handicaps are determined by the scorer. The handicap is derived from the pairs results from competitions held since the previous handicap competition. This may not include all competitions if the results are not available to the scorer in a suitable format. Each player's mean percentage score is subtracted from 60 to give the handicap.

In order to qualify for the handicap cup, both members of a pair must be members of the club and must have played in at least five of the events from which the handicaps are calculated. Pairs containing players not eligible for the handicap cup may play in the heat.

The Evans Handicap Cup is awarded to the eligible pair with the highest handicap result. In the event of a tie, the cup will be shared. The winning pair(s) hold the cup until the next time the event takes place.
