NEPA Traveling Dart League

Here is an example of the handicap for FIVE shooters.

 

These are the shooter’s averages before the game.

 

TEAM ONE                               TEAM TWO

      Brian       35.1                              Dale         27.5

      Mike        36.3                              Donna     36.5

      Bill           30.8                              Tim        28.7

      Sam          28.6                              Ed           40.5

      George      37.5                            John      _ 37.9___ 

                        139.7                                         143.6

Both Sam and Dale are the fifth (low) average before they shoot the match,

so they don’t count for the spot.

 

The spot is calculated as follows:     143.6

       - 139.7

             3.9

X       .6 (60%)

=         2.3 rounded to 2PTS for team one before match.

 

The final scores for the shooters after they shoot are as follows:

 

TEAM ONE                               TEAM TWO

      Brian       40                                 Dale         32

      Mike        38                               Donna        32

      Bill           25                                  Tim        30

      Sam          38                                 Ed           42

      George     32                                 John      _ 39    __ 

                      148                                              145

 

After the match Bill and Tim shot the low games so their scores do not count to total.

 

The final calculation is as follows:

    TEAM ONE                               TEAM TWO

      148 + 2 (spot)= 150                     145

 

Team one wins the game by 5. 

Notice that the averages dropped to figure out the spot were not the same

shooters that shot the low scores. This is often the case.

 

Let me know if you need further clarification.
