We go to great lengths to ensure that averages and handicaps are calculated correctly. So please check yours and if you spot a discrepancy report it ASAP to Chris Taaffe (via the contact page) who will get to the bottom of it straightaway.
For your information the calculation for handicaps is 75% of the difference between your average and the scratch score of 200.
For example : -
Average 180
200 - 180 = 20
Difference 20
75% of difference 15
Handicap 15
Averages and handicap are always rounded down to the previous whole number.
If for example your average is 192.66 your handicap will be calculated from that figure, which in this instance is 5.50
These figures will be rounded down to 192 and 5.
However the handicap calculator shows that the handicap from a 192 ave is 6 , which is also correct, because in the calculator handicaps are calculated from whole numbers.
Bonus Points
In addition to the handicaps, one Bonus point is allocated to bowlers who do not cash any event, these points will accumulate on the rolling averages sheet, but will be capped at 6 bonus points. Bowlers who cash will lose all of their accumulated bonus points. As your record rolls off the rolling averages sheet, any bonus points associated with that event will disappear.
The rolling averages go back to all TPT Tournaments bowled within the past 12 Months.
Entering Averages
will be used to calculate handicaps until 18 games have ben bowled, and are subject to a rerate until then. If a bowler bowls above their entering average, that will become their new entering average .
Self Check
You have a responsibility to ensure you are bowling off the correct average so please check that your average is correct and if there is a problem go to the contact page and report it. If you have any queries about your new averages and handicaps, and believe they may be incorrect don't hesitate to use contact box B and any mistakes or misunderstandings will be corrected or explained.
If a bowlers stats roll off the rolling averages sheet, they will have to declare an entering average for their next event to avoid the default scratch average of 200.
