Bridgelady Mentor Program
- Handicap Rules
At Mentor Program games,
players will receive a handicap based on their
masterpoint holding. Each player will carry their own
handicap which will yield a total handicap for the
partnership.
The handicap formula is detailed below. It is subject to
change.

NOTE: All minus handicaps
will only be applied to offset a positive handicap.
Below are some examples:
|
A |
A
player with 2 MPs is playing with a player with
200 MPs. Their handicap will be 2 1/4 board (1
1/2 and 3/4). |
|
B |
A
player with 10 MPs is playing with a player with
1200 MPs. Their handicap will be 1 board (1 1/4
and – 1/4). |
|
C |
A
player with 0 MPs is playing with a player with
5000 MPs. Their handicap will be 0 (1 1/2 and –
1 1/2). |
|
D |
Two
players with over 1000 MPs are playing together.
Their handicap will be 0 since negative
handicaps only apply to offset positive
handicaps. |
The Director reserves the
right to make subjective decisions about handicaps. |
