so for eg. if i play the next session???
lets assume i hit 150, 150, 180 for the next session...
how liao??still 200 - total scores/6 this time?
The formula is (200 - (total upgraded total/total games played))/2.
That is correct. Your scratch scores of 151, 157 and 180 are upgraded to 160, 160 and 180.
160 +
160 + 180 = 500.
So handicap is (200 - (500/3))/2 =16.67 which rounds up to 17.
Let's say if you hit scratch 186, 142 and 171 for your next session. Your upgraded scores to use for handicap would be 186,
160 and 171.
186 +
160 + 171 = 517 (upgraded total session 2)
Now, your total number of games played is 6, and your total
upgraded pinfall would be:
500 (session 1) + 517 (session 2) = 1017.
Your new handicap would be (200-(1017/6)) = 15.25 rounded to 15.
Can catch ball?
