Club competitions are events held within a club, such as club championships. Clubs should add these events so that they can be referenced in resulting handicap changes.

Inter-club events are competitions between two or more clubs. One of the participating clubs should add these events so that they can be referenced in resulting handicap changes.

Other events include any not in the above categories, including selected national and international events.
