How to run a CONGU® 9 Hole Qualifying Competition using HandicapMaster?

The CONGU® Unified Handicapping System 2008 includes the option for committees to run 9 Hole qualifying competitions for its 'Home' members.

The format for Nine-Hole Qualifying Competitions is Stableford with a 'neutral' 18 points for the nine un-played holes being added to the Nine-Hole Stableford score.

Note: You will need a 2008 (or later) CONGU Handicapping edition of HandicapMaster to be able to process a CONGU® 9 Hole Handicap competition.
