Handicap Rules

  1. Handicaps will be decided by the Management Committee.
  2. Handicaps will be reviewed at the start and half way point of the season and adjustments will be based on the difference between your wins and losses.
  3. No Max/Min Handicap
  4. The maximum handicap that can by applied in any frame is 70, this is irrespective of whether the 2 players handicaps add up to more.
  5. A players handicap will change by the frame difference between wins and losses multiplied by 2.  Example – if at the half way point of the season Jack has won 6 and lost 4 their difference is 2.  If Jill had won 3 and lost 7 their difference would be -4.  In the example above Jack’s handicap would go down by 4 and Jill’s would increase by 8.
  6. The above will happen automatically unless a players difference is greater than 5, in that case the committee will discuss that persons handicap and use frame scores and common sense to come up with a suitable adjustment.  However it will be a maximum of + or – 10.
  7. Any unknown players joining the league will have his/her handicap set by his/her captain, the committee will monitor and adjust if felt necessary.
