BCA handicap, how/why did I go up?

Every time someone you played plays a match, their rating is adjusted according to how they did. That gives the system more info about them and so it also gives more information about all the people they played, including you. Everyone is connected to everyone else. All of the millions of games that have been recorded are taken into account for the new ratings that are calculated every day. Josh Filler's next match is going to affect your rating a tiny little bit, even though you might be six connections away from him.

If you do start to play again, your rating will be adjusted fairly quickly because those matches from three years ago are only counted at half strength.

BCA handicap, how/why did I go up?

I played BCA for about 3 years, (about 2020 thru 2022) and was a 569 handicap when I quit. I have not played BCA since late 2022. Over my time off my handicap went from 569 to 581. My robust number is 671 if that makes any difference.

I have watched a few players I played against that are still active in BCA and their handicaps have increased a bit, (one guy by about 20 points as I think he'd been baggin' it) and even though I hadn't played BCA for 3 years, does BCA move you up or down based on what others you have played are doing, even if you have not played for some time?

I don't really care as if I ever shoot BCA again my handicap will find it's place anyway but I was just curious how a guy cannot play for three years and still increase his handicap by 12 points.

Thanks for any replies.

Cue ID

I foolishly did not take a pic of the entire cue. Appears to be goncalo alves or tulipwood, to me. 5/18x 18 pin.

Practice what I Preach

Okay! SUNDAY STORY time. 😉
Back when I was a Boy Scout, when John F Kennedy was president. Weaverville Scouts took the 40 mile ride In the early morning dark to Whiskeytown Dam. JFK was giving a dedication to the dam and lake. The lake takes water from Trinity lake and diverts it to the Sacramento Valley.

At the far right edge of the dam is the glory hole.
🤔 Wikipedia said 63 for completion. CHECK it out here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Whiskeytown_Dam_Dedication_in_California_No.4.jpg
President Kennedy speaks at the dam's dedication on September 28, 1963.
So I was 12 years old and road in our leaders international scout. Probably a full load of scouts in 2 vehicles.
We arrived before daylight and provided a rope pathway clearance to access the grandstand. Got to see the president arrive and land on the dam. 4 different choppers. The trees held secret service snipper equipped security.
We provided the passage to the comfort station z as well as access from parking. 🤷‍♂️ When his dedication began. Our walkway was collapsed and we moved as close as possible to watch and listen.....to Our President. Kinda A Big deal at 12. Shrug 🤷‍♂️. I was still a shrimp at 12 and an older scout allowed me a seat on his shoulders.
Can't help but feel the tears and pain upon hearing of his assassination.
Okay a little emotional wave just hit me.
