HANDICAP CUP
The Handicap Cup competition is a single duplicate session normally played using a Howell movement. Pairs are handicapped on the basis of their average percentage scores for the current club year subject to a minimum six attendances. Those who cannot be given a handicap in this way may still play in the competition, but they will be given a handicap that is either equal to the highest handicap in the field or the highest handicap either of them would have had with another member, whichever is the larger.
