Tournament Rules

To be eligible for the championship, a bowler must be 10 years of age

Each bowler will bowl two games

Handicaps will be added to each game, and a total net computed for both games

Division champions

Each Division will have a winner, based upon high net

Division winners can be outside the Jabby family if the division agrees

Prize money, team competition, and individual awards are at the discretion of each Division

National champions

Only Jabby family members can win the National Championship

High net (Jabby family members) from all Divisons are compared.  The highest net will be declared National Champion

There is no prize money for the National Champion, outside of what they won in their Division

Handicaps

A bowler's average (AVG) will be used to compute a handicap

The handicap formula is (200-AVG) x 90%

New Bowlers

If a new bowler has an existing average from regular play, it can be used

If no existing average is available, the following will be used for starting averages

10-11 years of age:

AVG = 80

HDCP=108

12-14 years of age:

AVG=100

HDCP=90

14-16 years of age:

AVG=110

HDCP=81

Women 16+ years

AVG=120

HDCP=72

Men 16+ years

AVG=150

HDCP=45

Handicap Computation

After tournament play, a new handicap will be computed for the next year's tournament

The next year's handicap will be the average of the starting handicap and the computed handicap based upon only that year's gross scores.

This will allow the handicap to move based upon their recent performance

To prevent sandbagging by better bowlers, the handicap cannot increase more than 20% in any given year if the bowler has a starting handicap of <70.

Ryan's spreadsheet will compute handicaps based upon these rules
