3. Select whether it is an EGA (default) or CONGU handicap.
4. Your EGA Playing Handicap and strokes received will be displayed for the competition.

Calculation of Strokes Received

• Each individual's playing handicap = the normal playing handicap, except in the case of MIXED matches, where Ladies receive a number of "course adjustment" strokes equal to the difference in Par between the Ladies tees and the Men's tees;
• Each team's handicap is 50% of the sum of the two team members' individual handicaps (the result is rounded to the nearest integer).
• The team with the lower team handicap receives 0 strokes;
• The other team receives 100% of the difference in the teams' playing handicaps.
