Some of the new bowlers have asked about the Handicaps and how they are used?

Here are three examples

  • Bowler A has +8 and Bowler B has 0 - a difference of 8 - Bowler A has to score 29 and Bowler B has to score 21
  • Bowler C has +6 and Bowler D has +2 - a difference of 4 - Bowler C has to score 25 and Bowler D has to score 21
  • Bowler E has 0 and Bowler F has 0 - a difference of 0 - Bowler E has to score 21 and Bowler F has to score 21

The winner must score 21 or more, depending on their handicap.
