Handicap system?
« on: May 27, 2007, 09:43:21 AM »
Guys just like to ask if any of you were given handicap during league / tourney? Then what kind of point system was used and based on? Im  a bit confused here when the organiser used the "look and feel" system when giving handicap to bowlers without referring to previous league / tourney results.

" Look and Feel" system, time to bowl a different tournament. That way just leaves too many possibilities to be screwed over.

The "look and feel" system? How did that work? he just look at a bowler and say you get this much.

We use  the pretty standard system for points and hdcp. 7 point system(2+2+2+1),8 pointsystem(2+2+2+2), HDCP 90% of 230,90% of 220.

Entering averages- use last years league ave or highest book.

Maybe you should show up wearing Billy Bob teeth and throw gutter balls in practice.

"look and Feel" -
Implies he'l give you (and his friends) anything he feels like.

I've got a bridge to sell you that'll make you a rich man. You can put up your own toll booths and charge anyone whatever you like (much like that "organzer").

Other relevant quotations:

Our Bowling Congress doesnt keep record of tourney result effectively, And since I've never joined their league they didnt know my actual average. I've only joined the private/personal organised tourney (which in fact used better handicap system. Example, they set up a borderline score = 185, If my average is 175, They would only give me a +10, If your average is more than 185, no handicap is given). Hence they used the Look and Feel system and based their judgement by looking at private/personal tourney results.

Yea, I agree. Its better if they say it, "Come, join the tourney, but dont win." LOL.
