22. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECT HANDICAP

(a) Every player is obliged to record on his entry form his current official handicap and, if different, his current club handicap.  Any subsequent alteration must be reported to the Manager on arrival at the tournament.
(b) Every player bears the final responsibility for ensuring that he plays at the correct handicap.  If a player plays in a handicap event at a handicap higher than that to which he is entitled or in a class event that his handicap does not entitle him to enter, he must be disqualified.  In knock-out events in which he has not been defeated, his place is taken by his last opponent.  In American or Swiss events his record is deleted from the event.
