Handicaps
Class 1: Youth bowler receives 100% of the difference between their highest YBC league average as of March 16, 2025, and 240 per game. This number is then cut in half due to the bowler only bowling half of a game.
Class 2: Adult and Youth bowlers both receive 100% of the difference between their highest league average as of March 16, 2025, and 240 per game. Each number is then cut in half due to the bowler only bowling half of a game and the two numbers are then added together.
