Rules for handicap calculation
In an attempt to make the game more fair and balanced players with a higher skill level will be handicapped. The handicap is calculated as follows:
- 1. If the difference in skill level is 3 or 4, the handicap is 1.
- 2. If the difference in skill level is between 5 and 9, the handicap is 2.
- 3. If the difference in skill level is 10 or more, the handicap is 3.
- 4. The handicap level is capped at 3 regardless of the difference in skill level. Previously the handicap was capped at 4 but this was deemed too high and unfair.
