Anything handicap based over 220, unless the league is just that good, is complete shannigans. I have bust my butt to be good at this sport and handicap being set at 230 just because a few people have put in the extra time and effort to obtain a 230 plus average is bullcrap. It is sorta like little league for kids nowadays. "He you go Charlie, Here is your last place trophy for never showing up for practice."
If I can figure out how to upload a recap sheet this next paragraph would make much more sense.
But my averages this year are 225-242 depending upon the league. In one league, We use a scoring system that allows teams to win up to 20 points per night. Each placeman on each team bowls against each other (lead off vs lead off) (anchor vs anchor) so 4 points total are possible by individual team members per game and 2 points per handicap game and 2 points for handicap series. This set up along with past experiences has shown me this disadvantages a 225+ avg bowler has going up against a 90% of 230 league. For example, We have bowled 87 games this year and my win percentage is only 44.83% (Won 39 lost 48) with a 232 average. I am constantly losing individual points due to this ungodly high handicap base. So I truly disagree with the handicap being based at 230 unless say the league's avg is 205+.
But back to the post. I like the scratch brackets and what not on Rolltechbowling but I would like to find another site that focuses on a handicap base of 220 max on other contests. There is one that a lot of professional and amateur professional bowlers use on a daily basis and this is one of the sites I am trying to find. Anything would help.
