What is your policy on damage to plastic balls?
Arrowhead Lanes is not responsible for any damage done to plastic balls.

How do I calculate handicap?
Ask the league secretary what percentage is used for a given league.

Add the averages of each bowler to find the total team average. Do the same for the opposing team.

The team with the lower average is going to receive a handicap to make bowling fair for each team.

Subtract the lower team average from the higher team average to find the difference.

Now mulitply that number by the percentage that he secretary provided for you. This number is how many pins the lower average team will have added to their score each game.

Example:

Team A - Bobby's Avg is 180, Dean's Avg is 240, and Jean's Avg is 165.

Team A's Total Average = 585 (180+240+165)

Team B - Joe's Avg is 93, John's Avg is 123, and Mike's Avg is 140.

Team B's Total Average = 356

The difference in averages is 229 (585-356)

This example's league handicap is 80%

229 X .80 = 183 ==> Team B receives 183 pins per game


What is Moonlight Bowling?
