Q:  What if I don’t want to be part of the League Table?

A:  No problem.  Just play as usual—even alongside those who are submitting a card.  You can play but do not have to submit a card.

A:  £15 for the entire season.  This is to cover the cost of prizes and to create a sense of involvement.

A:  No, only input your score if you are also playing in a competition where this is required.

Q:  Are these handicap qualifying competitions?

A:  But all except PAC Man can be used to enter a Sup Card.
