NAPA Handicap System
The Handicap System was designed to give everyone a chance to have fun competing, no matter what your skill level is! Since the League Operators have no control of the player handicaps once submitted, it is very important to enter a player with a fair and correct handicap the first time. Rating a player to high (and they lose most of the time) causes them to not want to play anymore. Rating a player to low (and they win all the time) causes problems with other players. We rely on other players, captains, and the player themself to give us an honest and accurate feedback. We provide many tools for that as well.
A typical handicap system is a ranking of 2 - 7. NAPA is different. Our system ranks players from 0 to no upper limit! I know it sounds strange but it works. The races are increased and each person is given a 50% of winning this way. We account for super 7's and can't shoot a ball 2's and everything in between.
