Q:

Is this a scratch or handicap event?

A:  Definitely handicap. We’ve found that a high percentage of people attracted to this league format are novice league bowlers. The tournament and weekly competition are not as important to them as having fun and looking forward to a mini-vacation at the end of the season.

 

The handicap system used is 100% handicap versus the highest entering doubles team average. Every year we have approximately 10% of the bowlers with averages in excess of 200. A minimum entering average has been established at 100. (200 for a doubles team).

 

Q:   How do you determine which division our bowlers are assigned to and how is the prize money paid out each day?

 

A:  Each day, bowlers only compete against the teams bowling that day. There is NO carry-over of scores from day to day. Each day is a separate tournament divided into two divisions based on the entering averages of all teams.

 

We determine the mid-point of all teams bowling in all squads that day and split the field down the middle with 50% of the teams in the top average division and 50% in the lower average division. The mid-point, doubles team average, has averaged between 325-330 each year. 

The advantage of this format, is NO team is receiving more than approximately 100 pins in handicap per game. Spread over three games, this gives both the higher and lower average bowlers a fair opportunity to be successful.
