Handicaps: 40% of the total team handicap will be used (example below). Teams will receive strokes on holes that qualify based on total team cap.

 

Example: Player A is a 2.3 handicap and Player B is a 4.1 handicap, then the total team handicap is (6.4). This team will receive a handicap of 2.59 (40%) which equals three strokes for the front nine (would be hole #1, #8, #9).
