I think we should use this version first of all to see how it goes.

800 of higher (0)
800-775 (+1)
775-750 (+2)
750-725 (+3)
725-700 (+4)
700-675 (+5)
675 or anything below (+5)

Just to be clear, I am currently 774 and my opponent is 696, so she gets a three nil head start, is that right? Or do we start at 2 frames to 5???

Is that like what the golfers do, protectin the handicap lol

In other News...

hippesville v poolace (+4)

Fairly straightforward games here. A few mistakes and we hit the odd good shot. Ggs man and cheers for playin

Fianal Score 10 - 6 hippes

PMSL I still can't get my head round 774!!!!

Stop beating me and it'll go back up!

Played half of our match, conclude tomorrow;

MDJ (777.3) 5 v Fiery One (702.2) 1 so far...

Is that 5-4 then?

No idea, still don't get it.

lol lad keep up!!

You're +1 and viki is +4

The way I played it with poolace was, we split the difference. He was +4 and I was 0 so he had a 4-0 start.
So in your match Ida started with viki 3-0 up.

Score now would be 5 - 4

if score is 5-1 MDJ then it will be 5-5 cos vik gets 4 racks

The only player who gets the handicap will be the one with the lower rank. I feel that would be the fairest way

That doesn't make sense, if someone on 699 plays someone on 700 then they would get a five frame start???

As it stands at this moment, handicaps are as follows

kingpool (+1) v fasteddie (+2) eddie starts 1-0 up

cabbie (+5) v northy (+1) cabbie starts 4-0 up

mdj (0) v fiery (+5) viki starts 5-0 up (tho they started a few days ago when handicaps were different so viki was 3-0 up)

hippes (0) v pool_ace (+4) pool_ace starts 4-0 up

Asides from that bein as clear as mud lol I think we should all from here on in stick to a single handicap, which would be as follows. Fluctuations in ranking will obviously occur and could make it very complicated, altho some will prob think this is lol

hippes/mdj - 0
kingpool/northy - +1
eddie - +2
poolace - +4
cabbie/viki - +5

That's only a difference of 1 mate, so only a 1-0 lead

Yes that's what I thought but it's not what Kingpool is saying.

Shall we scrap all of the games until this is decided, it makes no sense at the moment?

Personally I'd stick with the ones I had posted earlier...

hippes/mdj - 0
kingpool/northy - +1
eddie - +2
poolace - +4
cabbie/viki - +5

See what the boss thinks

I think lower ranks should play each other that way one get threw to next round that way they start from scratch with 9 ball I seen higher rank players get beat by low rank players in clan matchs when they where going every game started from srcatch rank did not matter
