Calcolatore Handicap Bowling — Formula
## How Bowling Handicap Is Calculated
### Formula
**Handicap = (Basis Score - Your Average) x Handicap Percentage**
### Common League Settings
- **Basis Score**: Usually 200, 210, or 220. This is the theoretical "perfect" average for the league.
- **Handicap Percentage**: Usually 80-100%, with 90% being the most common. A higher percentage gives lower-average bowlers more pins.
### Purpose
Handicap levels the playing field so bowlers of different skill levels can compete fairly in leagues and tournaments.

Esempio Risolto
Calculate handicap for a bowler with a 165 average, basis 220, 90% handicap.
- Gap from basis = 220 - 165 = 55 pins.
- Handicap = 55 x 90% = 55 x 0.9 = 49.5, rounded to 50 pins.
- If the bowler bowls their average (165), the handicap score = 165 + 50 = 215.
