 How should you double sign a card though. Im sure there is no where in the rules that states where on the card it must be done, but where do you guys normally do it if it must be done?

 No probs with 2 balls playing medal at our club Taz. No probs with NRs either. I cannot say that walking in displays great strength of character, and I always admire those who carry on and get soaked/post a cricket score.
Which has the worse (ie unwanted) effect on CSS? A NR or a cricket score posted by a player who has lost interest.
As Dec posted earlier:-
Rule 6.3b - In stroke play, the competitor must remain throughout the round in the group arranged by the committee, unless the committee authorizes or ratifies a change.
Breach of the rule is DQ - not NR

 unless the committee authorizes or ratifies a change. However, the question was not about changing groups but not completing a stipulated round. But the crux of the question is the same. What effect does a cricket score have on the CSS that a DQ or NR does not or vice versa.

The Fact is you can Nr and leave the course you cannot change groups full stop. The holes he has completed will be used for css purposes if you nr at a hole you still carry on marking scores for rest of holes you play for css purposes.

I have NRd a lot of times and i've left my partner in a 2ball a few times.Last year i was 2 over (off13) in an open playing my third from 90yds onto par5 12th when i got a call that cattle had got out onto a main road so had no option but to fly(f***in thing was it wasn't even my cattle when i got there).Being a farmer i'm on call 24/7 and the farm comes 1st.A lot of you guys need to realise thats its a leisure pursuit not the f***ing US masters and id rather some **** walked in than spoil my round if hes going to whinge the rest of the way round even if i'm in a 2 i'll join the group behind if thats a prob then SHOVE IT UP YER A***  . I'm sure a lot of people are in the same work/on call dilema as i am so why should someone not be allowed to join another group if his partner is called away/injured etc etc.This is just another rule thats there from a bygone age that needs updating.The less obstacles put in the way that stop people from playing the better.AND I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO SAY RULES ARE RULES but i'd rather hear a constructive argument for having a rule that some condescending sh*** please I would say though that once you start nring it does get easier every time and i've vowed not to do it again(work exception) and so far i've not.

I was thinking along the lines of all in Rustling. I am sure Kent Walton could drum up some sponsorship.

 Reloader, can't agree more, if work demands or injury (as happened to a friend of mine a few weeks ago) then you must NR. However, walking off because your playing bad is just wrong (sorry Lawman) but IMO it is a shit thing to do. I have had someone NR 3 times now and on each occassion it has effected the game of myself and my playing partner. All of a sudden you are now hanging around on each shot and it ruins your rythym. A very selfish thing to do IMO. Am I right in thinking a cat 1 golfer doesn't get a 0.1 for NRing ?

I remember a very costly NR / DQ at our place a few years ago, during the big summer invitation. Our then vice-captain (who's wife had handed out the scorecards and comp rules) chopped down our first hole (a par 5). As it was a best ball format, he'd picked up as his (at best) 8 couldn't better his partner's score. The look on his face when he was told on the 2nd tee by one of our group that he'd DQ'ed his team as it was in fact "better ball, all scores to count on the par 5s" was quite frankly frightening (he was a big, angry-looking bloke). So, not only was the entire comp and afternoon blown, but also the entry fee for him and his team (somewhere around three figures, I believe)! Ouch!

 The Comp. rules sound a bit strange, but it was a pity that nobody adviced him to go back, replace the ball, and finish the first hole.

 Better ball medal? Sounds like a recipe for a 6-hour round to me.
