You gotta be net -18 to -20 to win the 4-man scramble (ambrose events) at our club, so when I saw that 46 I couldn't believe those guys would even try showing their faces.
I've seen a liberal 1 club length taken in these events to get around an obstacle, but I've never seen outright cheating.
The recent scramble I played was at Royal Melbourne with a 3 person team. We ended up a gross -6 and handicap got us the win as that took us to -14. The wind was howling so they got rid of the 3 drives rule (we made it anyway), and everything else went right (long bomb eagles, hit a lot of one putts for birdie or to save par, and drives in the fairway each time).
