A simple club handicap
There is no single universal snooker handicap formula. Clubs and leagues publish their own systems. This calculator applies the simplest agreed-rating method: the lower-rated player receives the rating difference in each frame.
Use the ratings and rounding rule set by your competition. This page does not replace its rules.

Is the handicap applied every frame?
In a simple starting-points system it usually is, but your competition's rules control.
