Can any of you rules experts give guidance on this scenario?
We played in a recent S'ford comp in awful conditions. It was raining, poor light and windy as well. I was with the group from which "the winner" came but, was not scoring his card. At the end of the round, the player and scorer agreed that the points total was correct. Cards, although fairly illegible due to weather conditions, were signed and submitted to the organisers.
Unfortunately, the "winning" player was disqualified. On one hole he had scored a 5 for 1 point but, the scorer had written 4 for 1 pt. The points total was correct but, the numbers of strokes was incorrect.
Should he have been disqualified, given the fact that this was a Stableford competition, not stroke play as such?
