^^^^Ah The "Team versus Field" system, you don't see that one much.^^^^

Interesting, Mike. Could you put some examples using numbers together so I can make sure I understand? I'm sure I do, but I want to see how it looks on paper.

Interesting, Mike. Could you put some examples using numbers together so I can make sure I understand? I'm sure I do, but I want to see how it looks on paper.

Here is a example that shows it.

There are 8 Bowlers with 7 possible points to be won or lost per game and series. For a possible 28 points max to win.

The Recap shows Name, Average, Handicap (using 90% of 220 and the handicap scores
(and these are actual peoples averages and scores who bowled on the same pair of lanes on a THS during league.)

There are Standings and also shown are the points by games and series. And total points per bowler

as you see while the lowest average bowler didn't win, neither did the highest average bowler

Thanks Bowl...you're the best!

Had my brain around it, but second guessed myself. Good to see it "in action". Again many thanks.

I would go for something like this.

The above example is very close, but the scores should include handicap.

245 -> 7
237 -> 6
236 -> 5
225 -> 3.5
225 -> 3.5
223 -> 2
197 -> 0.5
197 -> 0.5

This would be an example of how to deal with ties.

The option that Mike presented is really pretty cool. Hadn't ever come across a scoring system like that. I could go for that too to make it a bit more interesting.

It doesn't matter if those are scratch or handicap scores shown in the example,

If it's a Handicap Tourney you use the Handicap scores to figure the standings.
If it's a Scratch Tourney you use the Scratch scores to figure the standings.

The process will be the same.

But to help out I'll change it to handicap scores ALAKAZAM! POOF! those are Handicap scores!

You didn't see the "Team VS Field" system much, because if the field got big. Then it was a lot of work comparing the scores etc. and figuring the standings (Back before they used computer programs to do standings) so it didn't get used much if at all.

[Mudpuppy]

Wow that is pretty interesting. Maybe something to consider for season 2 Aslan? I think what the you vs the field scoring system misses out on is the competition of you vs a random bowler from BB. I think that part mights it fun and interesting as well. But we haven't started yet so it is possible to use this you vs the field scoring. It's up to our Californian connection and then for the field to buy in.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm in. It might make things easier as far as an even number here in So Cal too.

Aslan-Do you have league sheets form that last league at Carter handy? If not Chris has it somewhere. I can email it to you later today if needed.
