I like a lot of things about the BCA: the rules generally, the variety of people you get to play are my favorites. One thing I do not like is the way handicap points are minimized. I don’t want to say ‘hidden’ but…
Handicap points count just like other points and yet, you never really see them. We all know the high skill players tend to score a lot of points, but if you factor in handicap points, what happens?
This is what happens. You start to see players with lower skill in the mix. Lower skill players do contribute to the success of the team, even if they don’t win as much. They don’t have to win the game to win the points.
Handicap points are just points you score before the match starts.
