For each month, a handicap is calculated which is the average of all uploaded percentage results for the previous months - the number of previous months is specified on the Options tab. Non standard pairs events, such as Teams are ignored. This is taken away from 50 to give the handicap for that month. Handicaps are calculated for each player, not a pair. Good players would get a negative handicap, weaker players get a positive handicap.

See Competitions - Options - Handicap Rules for other settings that affect the calculation of the Rolling Handicap.

e.g. with the 'Basis of Handicap' set to 'Previous 12 Months'
