Handicaps in our league are figured on an individual basis. A team handicap is simply the sum of a team's bowlers' individual handicaps. Handicap is not affected by the other team you bowl against. It's always "against yourself" and determined from one's own average. Our league bylaws state that our handicaps are calculated as "90% from
220"**, which means "90% of the difference between your average and 220". For
example, if your average is 154, first subtract your average from 220, which
gives 66. Then, take 90% of 66 (66 * 0.9), which is 59.4. Drop the decimal,
and the handicap is thus 59. If your average is 219 or more, your handicap is 0. **Note: This calculation can be revised each season. If you want it
changed, come to the next pre-season planning meeting with your suggestion! |
