RULES Play starts at 9-30 and each game is time limited to 2 HOURS and is 14 point handicap doubles to no base, so ONLY ONE SIDE HAS BISQUES. Calculate bisques by adding up each pair’s handicaps, dividing by 2, then subtracting the lower side from the higher giving the full game number of bisques then, consulting the appendix on the main board, reduce these to 14 point handicaps. NB NOT ‘ WEDNESDAY’ HANDICAPS OR “HOW MANY BISQUES DO I GET, LORNA”. Round ¾ to 1 and ¼ to ½ . PAIRS MUST PLAY IN HANDICAP ORDER i.e. the pair with the LOWEST combined handicap must play as no.1. Pairs must remain the same throughout the day. As time is of the essence, please minimise conferring and coaching ON THE LAWN.
