ABCD Florida - Guidelines

Substitutability:
Any player can substitute for any other player, and a handicap adjustment will take place. The calculation will be made by taking the average of the players of the replacement players skill (e.g. C), subtracting it from the average of the players at the level for which he/she is substituting (e.g. A), and dividing by the number of positions that the two players differ (C to A, D to B = 2; D to A = 3; etc.). If the player substituting is at a higher skill level, the handicap adjustment will be reversed (e.g. If an A replaces a B, instead of starting at a minus number, the team starts at +2).

Missing Players:
A Missing - B takes 2 shots, team starts with stroke advantage equal to difference between A & B player handicap averages divided by 3 rounded up to the next whole number.
B Missing - A & C alternate taking 2 shots.
C Missing - B & D alternate taking 2 shots.
D Missing - C takes 2 shots every other shot.

Disqualification:
If a player is disqualified after the round starts, the player may finish the round as part of the team but the player forfeits any share of any winnings. If a player is disqualified before the round starts, either the Substitutability or Missing Player guidelines should be adopted.

Late Arrival:
If a player arrives after the start of his group and his group has less than 4 players, he will be able to join them on the next tee. Any scoring adjustment will be prorated for the number of holes the late arriving player missed, rounded to the nearest (higher or lower) whole number.

If the late arriving player has been substituted for, he will not be allowed to join his group.

Order of Finish:
All Ties will split the appropriate prizes. For example, a two-way tie for first place will result in the prizes for the first two teams being combined and divided evenly among the two teams.
