We have Automatic Scoring Systems that compute your scores for you automatically. Each league awards teams or individuals points for winning each game and series against your opponents. You establish your average and handicap after the first week of league.

Handicap is a number added to the bowler’s average to level out the playing field and make competition fairer in leagues with bowlers of varying abilities. Handicap is then added to individual scores for each games. In Team play, all scores and handicaps are added together for each team to determine the winners of each game.
