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: [(1567 minus rating) divided by 160].
To avoid statistical distortions, James Hiller has 300 points and John Roper 100 points added to his actual rating for handicap purposes only. Peter Ford, Josh Ford and Brendan Griffen have been given provisional ratings for handicap purposes only.
