For Handicap tournaments, the following default settings will need to be configured:

Note: The handicap rule defined in this section represents the initial default value for an individual bowler and single game.  Actual handicap rules for the tournament may differ depending on the method used (per game vs. per series, sum of bowlers vs. team avg).

• Max Score for 1 Game for 1 Bowler:  Highest score possible for a bowler.
