B39: BG Omniscorecard and Punctuation. Also Penalty Codes
The BG App automatically produces a dynamic interpretation of Gross scores and Net scores, when a single figure is inputted and verified by Secondary and Self-Markers, using the following punctuation:
No Punctuation: e.g. for an outright Gross score win equating to a Net Par (on the last Hole) or Net Birdie or Net Eagle on any Hole
e.g. scores such as 6 / 5 or 5 / 4 or 4 / 3 or 3 / 3 or 5 / 5 or 4 / 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Also No Punctuation: e.g. for a two-way Net Par tie on Holes 1 to 17
6 / 5 & 5 / 5 or 4 / 3 & 3 / 3 or 5 / 4 & 4 / 4
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Parentheses: e.g. to show superseded (trumped) scores, both Gross and Net scores.
e.g. scores such as (6) / (5) or (5) / (4) or (4)/ (3) or (3)/(3) or (5)/ (5) or (4)/ (4) or (2)/ (2) or (5)/ (3)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Square Brackets: e.g. to show Gross penalty scores, that are inappropriately large.
e.g. scores such as [6] / P or [5] / P or [4]/ P or [3]/ P
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Period (Full Stop): e.g. to show a curtailed score, either a legitimately or an illegitimately curtailed Gross score, and either a null (BLANK) score or a Penalty score, P or P18
e.g. scores such as 3. / or 4. / or 5. / are legitimately curtailed scores,
whereas scores such as [3.] / P or [4.] / P or [5.] / P or, exclusively on the last Hole, [3.] / P18 or [4.] / P18 or [5.] / P18 are illegitimately curtailed scores.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In addition to use of punctuation just two codes are used to signify a Net score Penalty, namely P and P18
P => @Two-off-the-next-tee after the conclusion of Holes 1 to 17
P18 => @ineligibility-Penalty on the last Hole, usually the 18th. This is a disqualification from possibly benefitting from a Net Bogey tie on the last Hole

The same punctuation and Penalty codes are used on a two-sided cardboard BG scorecard, on the Omniscorecard side.
