* Just like we do with the team matchups in which 80% handicap is added in for the team with the lower total average, we're applying an 80% handicap for the individual bowler with the lower average in each head to head matchup.
For example, let's say that Bowler A has an average of 180 and Bowler B has an average of 130. The difference between the two averages is 50 pins, 80% of which is 40. So, in our matchups, Bowler B would get an additional 40 pins of handicap added to his or her score in each game.
If Bowler A shoots a 214 while Bowler B ends up with a 175...Bowler B would be awarded the Head to Head victory as the final score would be 214-215. Bowler B's game of 175 would have the 40 pins applied, bringing their total to 215. Hooray for handicap!
