The BPPL Handicap System

The BPPL Balanced Handicap System lets players of any skill level compete against each other evenly.

With the BPPL Balanced Handicap System, it’s feasible for a beginner to have a nearly equal chance in a match against a more highly skilled player. The Balanced Handicap System aids the lesser skilled player by dictating mathematically that he/she needs to win fewer frames their opponent to win the match.

In the BPPL League, you give or get frames. How many frames you give or get is determined by comparing your skill level to your opponent’s skill level. A higher skilled player must give frames to a lower-skilled player, thus evening the match.
