Foosball League Handicap System – All Lincoln Leagues

  • Your individual Starting Handicap is based on your Lincoln Skill Rating Group.
  • Substitute player rating or average will be unique to each team you play on.  You will start with your rating on each team you play on and it will change according to your performance on that particular team.
  • In Singles play, the player with the lower handicap receives the difference in the 2 players.  If the actual difference between the 2 players is .5 or higher it is rounded to the next whole number.
  • Doubles and Singles Handicap Spots will always be a whole number!
  • All games are played out to 7 points and then the handicap will be added in.  A tie after handicap is figured in will result in 1/2 win for each team.
  • Each partner gets credit for 1 win when they win a doubles game.
  • 1 team win is given for Total Series Points. (Handicap not affected)
  • Your updated Handicap will be listed on the League Standings Sheet for your next match.
