Question
Is there a negative handicap in bowling. Our league is based on a 210 ave. We have bowlers bowling at 227 Ave. shouldn't they be a minus 17 pins?
Leagues and/or tournaments can set up a negative handicap in their rules. It happens rarely. It could be brought up at the rule meeting next year. I doubt you could get it put into the rules after the league has started.
Chip
Anyone that averages over the base number is not given a negative handicap unless the league or tournamet rules allow for that.
