HANDICAPPING SYSTEM ASSESSMENT

 

The perfect handicapping system is one that offers any competitor an equal chance to prevail. The charts below show the results during each session and will allow us to determine how any changes made to the existing handicapping system may have an impact. The best way to visualize this impact is to compare one result against another result, keeping in mind that the ultimate goal is to have the largest percentage of players as close to a 50% Match Win percentage as possible. Remember that no handicapping system is perfect. Humans are imperfect and there will always be short term "variability factors" that are impossible to predict. We are constantly monitoring our handicapping system and providing tweaks if required. A pink zone (between 40%-60% Match Wins) has been established as a measurement standard going forward. The targeted goal is to move the overwhelming majority of the players into this zone. Please communicate with your captains so when they represent you at meetings, we hear the voice of the players. We ARE listening. Click below to see how we're doing and thanks for showing us the support for our independent league and your continued feedback to make it even better.
