  2. For those that do NOT have a qualifying tournament average from the prior year, we will do the following:

    1. Highest challenge average in Bowl.com with 21 games or more from 2025-2026

    2. Standard Composite converted to challenge average from 2025-2026

    3. Standard Composite converted to challenge average from 2024-2025

  3. Our Handicap will be now based on 100% of 185 (challenge average) with max of 30 pins per game
