Hi Linda……Just to be difficult, a marker scored a player’s card by writing the word of the stroke number on his card, e.g., “five” instead of 5. The card was accepted as OK…..Is there a rule regarding this?
Thanking you……. Lou Lou
PS: What if the scores were recorded in a foreign language?
Dear Lou Lou,
While there is no specific rule requiring scores to be recorded as Arabic numerals, using words is bound to create a headache for the Committee member responsible for totaling the scores. I’m detecting a bit of unsportsmanlike conduct here, and I don’t like it. If I were the Committee member, I would take the marker aside, politely (but sternly) ask him to record the numerals under the words, and caution him against such shenanigans in the future.
Linda
