We aim to keep this league fun and fair. But also realize we need to have rules in place to handle these things as consistently as possible. Being there were side-effects to all options, we tried to minimize that to the extent possible.</div>

This week's scorecards were delayed while we found a reasonable solution on how to handle the matches that had not completed all nine holes. Two groups were only able to complete 7 holes before the bottom fell out of the sky. There are provisions in the league
rules for rain shortened events and when to consider the round as "completed". Either the league has to complete 8 holes OR (provision 1) 75% of the league has to finish the round with no more than half of a team not finishing the round. Unfortunately we
didn't meet either of those criteria for a complete round. 4 out of the 6 groups completed 9 holes (66%). This left us facing another rainout when most of the league's round was complete. So we put our heads together and worked with the rules committee
to find a solution that will be implemented moving forward.</div>

In this case holes 8 & 9 were filled in with par scores except where the higher handicap player was owed a stroke. When a player was owed a stroke an additional stroke was added to the higher handicapper until their score resulted in a tie. In each case the
players needing the final holes filled in tied their opponent. This added 4 points total to each of the affected teams which ensured each match now had the max possible points awarded. This is important so that a team's total seasonal points are not affected
since that is used as one of the tie breakers in the final regular season standings.</div>
