How handicapping works

The handicapping process isn't too detailed in the league description, so I thought I'd explain it in more detail for people who want to know.

Your handicap is an average of all your eligible scores for the season. You need at least three scores before you get a handicap, so for your first three rounds, you just get a single point for showing up.

Every 4 rounds, your highest score gets removed. So after 4 rounds, your handicap will be the average of your 3 best scores; after 8 rounds, your 6 best scores; after 12 rounds, your 9 best scores. There are 15 weeks, so you can't lose more than 3 scores.

Weekly points are awarded based on your actual score - your handicap. The best handicap score each week gets 10 points; the 2nd best 9; down to 2 for the 9th best. Everybody else gets 1 point.

Starting next week, we'll bring a printout of everybody's points and handicaps.

tl;dr Have fun! It's a casual fun league!
