Handicap scores can be capped now (USBC rule change)
« on: July 25, 2017, 08:02:56 PM »
One of the new USBC rule changes for 2017-2018 season is leagues can now cap handicap scores.

100g. Handicap
5. A handicap game or series shall not be capped unless otherwise provided by league rule. If a league adopts such a rule, a game or series cannot be capped below the highest possible scratch score.

For all the complaining about it, how many have shot 300 and lost to a handicap 300+?




I have. Lost to a 305 "score". It does happen, and everyone in the league including the guy that beat me thought it was ridiculous that I "lost" while shooting a 300 game, but those were the rules of the league.

Pretty hard to imagine why handicap should allow a person to exceed the maximum achievable score.
