# Max Handicap/Playing Index (What shows/prints on scorecards)

Will the Max Handicap/Playing Index value set in the Competition show on the players scorecards?.... No

When Max Handicap/Playing Index Value is applied to a Competition, the value set will NOT show/print on the players scorecard once they have entered in to that Competition. 

The players Handicap/Playing index of the day will show/print on the players scorecard.

The Max Handicap/Playing Index value will be applied to the players score once return and value will be applied to the Competition Results it has been applied too ONLY. 

The Max Handicap/Playing Index is recommended for individual competitions, as the value gets applied to the individual member.

Due to this we do not recommend applying a Max Handicap/Playing Index to a Teams Competition, as it can cause discrepancies with the results for the Competition.
