Handicap trophy

The player with the highest "Handicap Total" wins the Handicap Trophy.

The "Handicap Total" is obtained by adding the Handicap (column one above) to the player's points gained in the Flood Cup.

Handicaps are calculated at: [(1638 minus rating) divided by 150].

To avoid statistical distortions, James has 400 points added to his ratings for handicap purposes only.
