Q2:  How are scores calculated for the Junior Pennants competition?

A2:  Team scores in each round are worked out on handicap using the total of the best 3 of a team's 4 players' stableford points. Competition points are then awarded to a team thus: 2 competition points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

   The placing of a team in the competition is determined firstly from its competition points and secondly from its stableford points if two or more teams share the same competition points.  Here's an example: team A has 2 wins and 320 stableford points; team B has 1 win, 1 draw and 296 stableford points. Their scores are represented thus:

    team A:   4.0320

    team B:   3.0296

So the whole number represents a team's competition points, the decimals its total stableford points divided by 10,000.
