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: [(1634 minus rating) divided by 180]. 

To avoid statistical distortions, John Roper has 200 points added to his actual rating for handicap purposes only.

Greg Colwell has been given provisional ratings for handicap purposes only.
