Every interclub, and most club, events in Central Queensland
region are advanced handicap. Works well, and is closer to the level game they
have to play in divisional events.
There is so much handicap play simply because the levels Vary so
much between clubs. What’s more, is most (probably all) players enjoy it.
The question is whether , for fourth Div , your tournaments are advanced or
level play. In Vic the tradition has been to only have level...which in my view
is not helpful from a learning perspective. having been instrumental in moving
Vic from half to full courts for this group for tournament play (with no
adverse consequences) I'm now looking at this next step.
Thanks John and Kay.
What about NSW and Tas?

Hi Doron
In Qld I dont know of any real h'cap tournaments being played.
Advanced adds another dimension to the game
and if you have to give a heap of bisques it gives
you an extra chance to catch up.

Hi all
I'd like to get an idea of the situation in each State as to whether or
not all tournaments are Advanced Play, or whether 4th Div players are
excluded from this (as in Vic at present).
Would appreciate your help
