Abstract

A computerised method of grading and handicapping players and teams in the game of bowls, in a system that is consistent and published not only at club level of various clubs, but also at provincial, district, national and international levels. The invention provides a computer loaded with algorithms which allow the loading of data regarding the results of games played at various levels, calculating and updating gradings and handicaps, publishing these and other functions. The invention also provides magnetic strip cards and/or smart cards which can interact with the computer and also provide value to the user outside the game of bowls, like cash card, credit card etc. facilities. The algorithms are adapted to allow for various considerations to be factored into the calculations, such as the level of games played, from club social or tabs-in games, including the size of a club, to national and international levels, the scores and score differentials between winners and losers. The system allows or requires club officials and members to interact with it, allowing peer pressure, discretionary decisions and adjudications, green fee payments and other factors to be handled by the computer.
