GC Effective Handicaps
The CA has introduced a new "effective" handicap scheme for GC in 2014 in order to address a perceived imbalance
in the use of actual handicaps in some handicap games. The effective handicap is derived from the actual handicap
using the table below, and bisques (extra turns) in GC handicap games are then calculated from the difference in the players'
respective effective handicaps.

As can be seen from the table, the effective handicap only differs from the actual
handicap for players with an actual handicap of 3 or less. Further details can be found
on the CA website.
