bCALE 1
takes the place
of
what was formerly called a " First
Class " Handicap. It goes up
to 15.3
and may be extended to 30,
but this is rarely advisable.
S
CALE 2 is
for use when the form of players is not good enough
for a Scale I Handicap, or,
in
some cases, when the entry is not
large enough to justify division. A player who
wou
ld
rece
i
ve
15
in a Scale 1 handicap becomes scratch in Scale
2:
players who
would receive less than
15
in Scale 1 are placed their proportionate
distances behind scratch in Scale
2,
owed odds being rated as worth
(to the weaker player) only half received odds: e.g., a player who
receives
.3
in Scale i will owe
15
—not owe
.3
—in Scale 2. Scale
2,
like Scale 1, can also be extended to receive
30,
and this will
generally be necessary.
S
CALE
3
is practically equivalent to what was formerly the
" Second Class " Handicap. It bears the same relation to Scale
2
as the latter does to Scale 1; i.e., receive 15 in Scale I or Scale
2
becomes scratch in Scale
2
or Scale
3
respectively.
N
OTE.
—A player who ig better than owe 15 in Scale 1 cannot be
handicapped with accuracy, under the sixths system, in Scales
2
and
3;
and a player better than owe 15 in Scale 2 cannot,
similarly, be handicapped in Scale
3.
