Bowling Handicaps
« on: May 03, 2004, 06:15:41 PM »
Does anyone out there have any ideas about the differences between a 80% handicap league and a 100% handicap league?  What are the percentages of the higher average team winning in each situation?  Just curious as my league is considering a 100% handicap for next season.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Just a sugestion: In stead of thinking HOW MANY TIMES A 150 BOWLER BOWLS OVER his average .. think hard about how many times he bowls UNDER his average! Some how it works to be about 50% ... about the same amount of times a 210 average guys does it!
