What if I’m not a good bowler?
Match Play Masters is a handicap league which means that bowlers,
with a lower average, are given extra pins up front to make them
competitive with the higher average bowlers.
(handicap is 80% of the difference of a bowler's average from 220).
Additionally, the way the draft is conducted at the start of the season
tends to equalize team averages to keep competition tight.
