Most handicap leagues I've been in or am aware of will do anywhere between 80% & 100% of between 210 & 220. It all depends on what the league wants to do.
Handicap limit, how common is this type of rule
One league I am in has a limit on handicap the handicap is 100% of 215 with a max of 55 pins.
So anyone with an avg below 160 would give up pins, and as a result is there are no teams with bowlers below this avg.
Just curious is this is a relatively common rule ?

I wish mine did lol... I have never seen a handicap limit in a league but have in tournaments. Mostly in some of the big money ($10k +) handicap tournaments.
On a side note I bowled a men's league last year which is probably the most competitive one in town and they voted for 100% of 300 handicap. This year they are back to a more "normal" handicap.
As far as leagues go I've never been on one that had a cap on handicap or particularly heard of any around here, now in tournaments yes I've seen caps on handicap.
Caps on team average are more common.

My men's league has a max handicap of 100 (90% of 250). It's basically setting a minimum average of 140 without actually saying it. A few people are slightly below this, which hurts the team they are on.
My Mens League on Thursday has a max handicap of 72 I believe its 90% of 210
Most leagues around here are team h\c not individual. our Friday league is 90% from 1100. Now the Jackpots are 100% from 230 nothing under 160 though I find it totally unfair for a 230 average bowler bowling against a 180 bowler with 80-90% handicap less the 230. Leagues set up this way are stealing from the little guy.
Correct , this is why the team with all three guys averaging over 225 is far ahead of the rest of us.....I'm sure there will be some talk of modifying or adding a rule to equalize these loaded teams.Originally Posted by fordman1
Holy!!! 100% of 300?!?! That's just crazy talk!
Not crazy, just very logical. No danger that someone will have his or her average go over the basis number in the course of a season.
