By the way maybe it would be best to clarify before it gets closer; the shield is ko so no strokes there? That's where it will make a difference and where the handicap system worked best last year with lots of close games and matches.
are you saying al that handicaps should be left in the shield?
it was and always is my intention of having handicaps,i wouldnt do this comp without them you knew that jim,
im always in favour of the underdog but have maybe been less lenient on the higher tier this time,
i have posted that it will be 12 players as its only 3 group games less than half the games last year and as you said alan i dont think any legends mad it to the knockout stages,
i really didnt think it would be a problem with handicaps,it has worked well in all the last comps,
by the way jimbo
this was your post to jockyoche last year,whats changed mate
Sounds like you didn't do your due diligence. Had you done so you would have known Paul put this together to afford players the opportunity to meet new friends and have fun competing. Handicaps are a way of drawing in those that would normally sit on the sidelines and they happen to work well in this competition.
You're a fly in Paul's ointment and TBH, tyvm for dropping out as you don't possess the right attitude for this. 3 years of WC, 3 different winners and teams are coming out of the woodwork to play. Enjoy the sideline.
