AVERAGE RULES

LIGBT Season 2
210 & Under
Average & Bonus Pins Update

Here is how the handicap (90% of 210) and bonus pins are determined:

For bowlers that have a verifiable* incoming average:

  • Your handicap is based on your verified average until you bowl 3 events.
  • After 9 LIGBT games (210 & under event only) your handicap is determined by your tournament average and will change after each event.
  • The LIGBT will be using a "20 pin drop rule" which means the lowest your average can drop for handicapping purposes is 20 pins less than your verified incoming average.

For bowlers without a verifiable* incoming average:

  • Your handicap is based on your incoming average for the first event only.
  • If after 3 games your tournament average is higher than your incoming average your handicap will be based on the higher average.
  • If after 3 or 6 games your tournament average is lower than your incoming average your handicap will be based on the incoming average until you have 9 games bowled.
  • After 9 games your handicap will be based on your tournament average but is capped using the "20 pin drop rule".

Bonus Pins:

  • Every time you bowl & don't cash you receive 9 bonus pins at your next event.
  • You keep on accumulating 9 extra bonus pins until you make the finals.
  • Once you make the finals all of your bonus pins are taken away at your next event.
