Team Handicap Rules for the 2023 United States Final

Team handicaps from members of all qualifying local tournaments will be determined by evening out the scores of the respective local qualifying tournament. The team handicaps will be reduced by the amount of Stableford points scored above 36 during the qualifying tournaments.

Example:

  • Winning team’s handicap at local tournament: 18
  • Winning team’s Stableford result at local tournament: 40
  • Winning team’s revised handicap for Audi quattro Cup United States Final: 14 18 - (40-36) = 14

In the case that one or both handicap indexes go down between the time period of the local tournament and the national final, the reduction of the amount of Stableford points will be adjusted to new handicap index.

Example:

  • Winning team’s handicap at qualifying local tournament: 18
  • Winning team’s Stableford points achieved during qualifying tournament: 40
  • Winning team’s new handicap if indexes of both are lowered by a total of 2 (combined), between time of qualifying tournament and national final: 16

Handicap at qualifying tournament minus Stableford reduction minus handicap difference between handicap at qualifying tournament (if lower) equals Team handicap for Audi quattro Cup United States Final.

18 - (40-36) - 2 = 12
