Calculate Your Handicap
Formula: (Basis Score − Average) × Factor%
What Is a Bowling Handicap?
A bowling handicap levels the playing field between bowlers of different skill levels. It adjusts your score based on your average, so beginners can compete fairly against advanced players — helping you track progress, set goals, and enjoy competitive matches without feeling left behind.
Enter your average, game score, basis score (commonly 200 or 220), and factor (commonly 80–100%). Add an opponent’s average to see an estimated win probability, or use the projected series totals to plan for a 2-game or 3-game league series.
- Standard handicap formula — works for leagues, tournaments, or casual play
- Projected 2-game and 3-game series totals
- Win probability estimate against an opponent’s average
