Winter League 2026 – Skeet/Trap Handicapping Rules
1. Establishing the handicap
Each shooter establishes an average based on their first four weeks of shooting.
The first four weeks serve as the permanent baseline for handicap calculations.
The handicap is calculated individually for each shooter on the team.
2. Individual handicap calculation
Each shooter's handicap is calculated as: Individual Handicap = 25 - {4-Week Average}
Round the result to the nearest whole target.
A handicap cannot be less than zero.
A shooter averaging 25 receives zero handicap.
3. Team handicap
Each team consists of five shooters.
Add the individual handicaps of all five shooters to determine the team's total handicap.
The team handicap remains based on the original four-week averages.
4. Weekly team scoring
Beginning Week 5, add the team's total handicap to the team’s weekly score.
This produces the team's adjusted weekly score.
The same handicap is used throughout the remainder of the season (weeks 5-12)
5. First four weeks
Weeks 1–4 establish the baseline averages.
No handicap is added to team scores during these weeks.
Actual scores are recorded without adjustment.
