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 80% of the difference between your average and the scratch score of 220.
For example : -
Average 180
220 - 180 = 40
Difference 40
80% of difference 32
Handicap 32
Averages and handicap are always rounded down to the previous whole number.
If for example your average is 184.97, your handicap will be calculated from that figure, which in this instance is 27.23
These figures will be rounded down to 184 and 27.
However the handicap calculator shows that the handicap from a 184 average 28, which is also correct, because in the calculator handicaps are calculated from whole numbers.
Bonus Points
In addition to the handicaps, two Bonus points are allocated to bowlers who do not make the cut in any event, and these will accumulate for the life of the rolling average record. Bowlers who make the final will lose all of their accumulated bonus points, as will any bowler whose record rolls off the rolling average sheets.
The rolling averages go back to all TPT Tournaments bowled within the past 12 Months.
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 or they will be allocated a default scratch average of 220.
