On-Line Handicap League

Example Calculation:

 

As I am obviously not very good at explaining how this is calculated,
here is an example, using my results from Round 9 (June 3rd 2008)

 

My fastest rides used in the 5-Star on that day were 29:26, 28:13, 28:25, 28:00 and 27:04.
giving a 5-Star average of 28:14

The "Scratch" time I have used in the calculations is 20 minutes, so subtract 20 minutes from your 5-Star average.
"Handicap Allowance" = 5-star average - 20minutes
= 28:14 - 20:00
=8:14

That night I rode a 26:40 (a new PB)
Handicap time = Actual Time - Handicap Allowance
= 26:40 - 8:14
Handicap time = 18:26

 

The following week, my 5-star average include this new PB, will come down to 27:40
This will update the Handicap Allowance, which will reduce down to 7:40.

Just to confirm, there is no subjective handicapping.
i.e. I don't choose your handicap, the computer just calculates it from the 5-star averages.
So unless I have entered the main results incorrectlly, the handicap results should be correct.
