The first handicap review of the season is now complete please check for adjustments click on handicaps from the drop down menu.

New handicaps come into force from Monday 23rd September.

I have completed the first handicap review of the season this evening.

Just a brief outline of how the handicapping system works.

If a player wins/loses 4 frames by +/- 25 they will be adjusted the system will recommend a new handicap and I always accept this.

If the same player then goes on to reverse there first 4 frames IE win/lose 4 then for the next handicap review I will adjust manually to stop players going up and down to take them back to their previous handicap I try to find a handicap that players can maintain over the course of the season.

If a player goes to +/- 6 frames regardless of their win/loss average they will be adjusted once again I always take what the handicap recommendation is.

I hope this helps to explain the reasoning of the adjustments.

Tomorrow's AGM at South Leeds Cons in the upstairs room, will start officially at 7-45pm, but the room will be available from 7-00pm.
