Ahem. Yes, to be honest. Eldred's not really mediocre (at least he
wouldn't be if he didn't insist on having a life all the time...), but
if you get a bit better, you'll be removed from St Eldred's Cup.
Basically, the Cup was introduced to give people who saw a negative
handicap as beyond them something to aim for. The idea is, if you go
off the top of St Eldred's Cup, then you're ready to aim for teh big
one - 0.00! (And if I can do it, so can anyone.)
Think of it as a "second division" (though you're still in the main
competion as well, of course) - get a little better, and you'll be
promoted :-)
