Playing in Doubles, Pairs or Foursomes
It’s the same principle as for singles – except of course that all four of you will need a Cuefactor to make it work. To play the frame, you first combine the Cuefactors for each pair, take the lower away from the higher and divide by 2! It couldn’t be simpler and it’s a great way to play, compete and socialise – all at the same time!
Example:
Victoria’s Cuefactor is 67.82 so her rounded-up playing handicap is 68. David’s is 45.34 and his rounded-down playing handicap is 45
Their combined handicap is therefore 68 plus 45 = 113
Chris’s Cuefactor is 75.13 and his rounded-down playing handicap is 75 Gwyneth’s is 47.99 and her rounded-up playing handicap is 48
Their combined handicap is therefore 75 plus 48 = 123
To play the doubles match take the lower combined figure from the higher and divide by two. 123 minus 113 = 10 divided by two is 5. So Chris and Gwyneth would give David and Victoria a 5-point start!
Remember “Update Your Cuefactor” regularly to keep your cuefactor current because the difference is the point.
