One Pocket Handicaps The rating differences below are on a scale where a player who plays twice as well as another player will be rated 100 points higher. You can figure spots between two players from the spots they got from a common opponent, assuming the games were fair. Example: A gives B 9-7, so he is 37.8 rating points better than B. B gives C 9-6 so he is 61.2 points better than C. A is then 99.0 points better than C and the closest spot listed is 14-7, which requires a lot of ball spotting. An option would be to alternate between 9-5 and 10-5 for an average spot of 97.1. You can also use the table below to see how different two spots are. ---------------------------------------- Rating Ball Diff.
