    Negotiating strokes in match play

    Player A has to give player B 14 strokes.
    Question 1
    Player A says no strokes on par 3's Player B agrees. But according to the card one of the par 3's should have been a stroke hole. Is this legal or do players have to use the card's hole handicap ratings?
    Question 2
    Play is suspended in the match after hole 16. Based on the original agreement a stroke is owed on both holes 17 and 18. Just before the match is restarted Player A gets Player B to agree to only getting one stroke. So the original 14 strokes is now going to be 13. Thought?

    They are bot in breach of 1-3 Agreeing to waive a rule of golf (ie 6-2a).

    6-2. Handicap
    a. Match Play

    Before starting a match in a handicap competition, the players should determine from one another their respective handicaps. If a player begins a match having declared a handicap higher than that to which he is entitled and this affects the number of strokes given or received, he is disqualified; otherwise, the player must play off the declared handicap.
