There will be one open division as this tournament is handicapped. The handicap is based on each player's career LBPI from the (44-pt) "Handicapped 14.1 ladder". The career LBPI excludes games outside 1.645 sigma of the median. The matches will be to 75 points. An 80-percent handicap will be used. Minimum LBPI of 0.550 will be used for spot calculations. The maximum spot is limited to 150 points.
A Handicapped Straight (14.1 Continuous) Tournament, double elimination, will be Starting the last week of February. To enter this tournament one must have played at least 8 matches in the Billy Aardd's Club Handicapped Straight Ladder prior to the start of the tournament in order to establish a handicap for the tournament. (A minimum of 8 matches is required, however 10 matches is preferred since this will give a better career LBPI to base the handicaps upon. Note - that if the player has played only 8 matches before tournament their 2nd highest and 2nd lowest matches will be added in again to provide at least 10 matches to derive a career LBPI from. Other adjustments may be made for those unable to get the required number of games due to forfeits by other players.)
