Levin Bridge Club

Thursday night  has 4 Handicapped events 

• White Handicap Pairs 
• Hamilton Williams Handicap Individual
• Winter individual Handicap 
• Mackay Handicap Pairs 

The handicaps are calculated by the scoring program based on players rating points

 The two individual Handicaps are added together  then divided by 2

  For example 

A Playing with B

  A Handicap plus 4    B Handicap Plus 4

  4 plus 4  = 8 divided by 2 is plus 4

and

C playing with D

C Handicap plus 8    D Handicap Plus 4

  8 plus 4  = 12 divided by 2 is plus 6

The handicaps are the same for the whole year 

C points are awarded on the non Handicapped Scores
