if you read the small print , i put in there that all women play as c players but 2. i think this is fair but last time some poster thought it was funny if he brought in a known champion and wanted her to play as a c. I let him know that if a women comes in and plays b level or better she will be handiapped fairly just like any other player. and yes kids 14 and under get in for only 15 bucks. is this a great country of what?
thanks

How do you determine handicap if you haven't play in any league yet?
we can handicap based on known ability. todd would be a b player.
basically if you are really good you would be an A. if you are not so good you would be a c and if you are not a pro, a or c , you would be a b. I think almost 85% of the players that goto a tourney would be a b player.
to me a c player cannot run a table and would only make 3-4 balls at the most.
an A player has the ability to put multiple rack runs together.
It is always tough to handicap when you have players coming from way out of town but I know who to call for info in a 5 state area.
