Which months handicap report is used on a tournament occurring early in a given month?
Generally speaking, any tournaments occurring on the 6th day of the month and earlier will be based on the previous month’s indexes. Tournaments occurring on the 7th day of the month or later usually will be able to utilize the current month’s indexes. Handicap Indexes are only made available to us at midnight on the final day of each month. Since we always aim to have the starting sheets available to our members 5 to7 days prior to an event, it’s impossible to use the current month’s indexes for an event which occurs early in the month. The earliest we’ll likely be able to utilize the current month’s indexes for an event might be the 5th day of the month. Therefore if we have an event occurring on April 5th, there is a remote chance we might be able to use the April indexes for the starting sheet, however this would be a very tight schedule because we’d have to produce the reports and generate the starting sheet on the morning of April 1st (Tuesday) in order to email them to the membe
