IN MY OPINION:
If it's a HANDICAP league and you are playing MAN against MAN it would be a good idea to put the blind against the WEAKEST MAN on the opposite side .. if it's not MAN to MAN I don't think it makes a difference SCORE WISE where you put the BLIND.
Not sure what would be ACCEPTABLE in a SCRATCH LEAGUE MAN to MAN .. doesn't sound like the opposing team would allow you to put the BLIND against a LOWER AVERAGE bowler and AUTOMATICALLY WIN!
