Handicap

Summary

Player Ranks will be posted on the website on a dedicated Player Rankings page. These rankings will change throughout the season, so it is the responsibility of the team captain to check the website at the start of the evening and communicate to their players what their rank is. When changes are made to the rankings, an announcement will be placed on the front page of the website, and will also be communicated through the Facebook Page.

Players may not shoot at a rank that is not approved by the board.

Substitutes will use their last known Player Rank if they have played in a handicapped season before. In the event that there is no previous rank, any board member on site may discuss with the player and decide what rank they should be that evening. If there are no board members on site at the start of play, both captains may agree on what the substitute rank should be for the evening. If no agreement can be made, or if it is unclear what rank the player should be playing at, the default rank should be set to “3”.

Any player can refuse to use a handicap in their matches. If a player chooses not to use a handicap in a set, they are not permitted to use it for the rest of the evening. (They are essentially set to a rank of 1 for the rest of the evening)

All handicaps can be implemented on DartConnect boards by pressing the “HC” next to a player’s name at the start of a match.

Player Evaluation

Ranking Methodology

Initial player rank will be determined by their most recent season of play, organized in to a Unified Player Ranking*. The chart is modified to remove wins and assists from the Personal Points/Game percentage to give a more accurate portrayal of how often a player earns a personal point in a game, regardless of who they are playing. This initial player ranking will be presented to the board at the seeding meeting at the start of the season.
