    Order of play is decided by each team’s Captain. Enter the player’s rating from the Roster

    to the Rating Column to the left of player’s name on the appropriate score sheet.

    All new players with non-established rating enter a rating of 30. 

    Note: If you are adding a player who is not on the Roster, please include last name,

    indicate whether player is to be full time or substitute player and if you    

    are changing players from sub to permanent or vice versa on the score sheet.

3. Add up the ratings and enter your team total as either Higher or Lower Team Total in the

     boxes to the bottom left of the score sheet, subtract the lower from the higher and

    the difference is the total handicap for the match.

 

​4. The total handicap gets spread across five rounds. Refer to Allocation of Handicaps to Rounds Chart from the Website which shows how total handicaps are to be allocated to rounds.  Follow the order of play from the Home Team side and play round by round.         A win is 8 points. Loss score is number of balls made, i.e. balls left on the table minus seven. In the event of a tied score in a round, the highest number of games won in that round wins the round.  The 6th round (“wood round”) is won by the team with the highest total score, including handicap.  In the event that the total number of points in the sixth round (including handicaps) are the same, the team with the most games won out of the     25 games played, wins the 6th round.
