How the Handicap Scores are worked out.

All county-badged players have + 5 shots added in the year after they receive their badge/coat. 

Once a member has received their county badge/coat then club competitions will not be taken into account.

Members invited for a trial for the following county representative games

   = Middleton Cup           men                 White Rose Bowl       men

   = Balcomb Trophy        men

   = Johns Trophy             ladies               Amy Rose Bowl       ladies

   = Walker Cup               ladies

Have 1 shot added. If they have played in the above, 2 shots are added for the above.

These remain throughout their bowling career.
