We have a tee time for Hawkes Bay tomorrow and I was told it is one of 7 which are closed. Usually, even if you believe the weather is too bad to play, not like it has been this week, if you check in and then leave you will only get a point. If you call and cancel you get 2 points. And if you just don't show up I believe you get 3 points. In any case, the points roll off seven days after you have accumulated that point or points.
Points are made up of 1 reservation point + a cancellation penalty.

SO when you cancel you see the following points:

0 points: Course is closed during your tee time, even a reservation point is not assigned
1 point: Course is open but committee deems day very uncomfortable or dangerous, e.g., 48 degree F and windy or lightning
2 points: Cancel your tee time prior to the day of play
3 points: Cancel your tee time day of play

I hope folks would not check in and leave to save 2 points (maybe I misunderstood). You are taking up a tee time which to put it kindly is 'bad form'.
