If you pay attention to when times get released then you'll never have trouble getting into them. Where I am, for the most part events are either first come first served or there are qualifiers, which are themselves first come first served. They base entry to events on handicap, so vanity caps definitely do take places from potentially more deserving people who are honest about their handicap. It's definitely easier to game the system and make your handicap lower than it should be. I do have a little sympathy for her predicament about entering events. If she's bothered about giving shots then she should enter scratch events. She sounds like she thinks she's entitled to win a few matches.

It's like, er, okay so your opponent had a good day. One of her whines is that she was 1 under her handicap when she lost on 17. The new system for higher handicappers will react much more quickly to a worsening, which is probably why she's talking about higher handicappers getting higher, but they also should be higher.
