Yeah without adjusting handicaps there is no reason for shooters less than 900 to countinue. That leaves only 14 "in the hunt" !
If your in this thing to win it and that's all that matters, then yes you are correct and you should probably quit now. If you are in this thing to have fun, get to know the others in this contest a bit better, and learn to be a betterarcher then you might get something out of finishing up the league and shooting the next several weeks. I personally hope you stick around, but it is really up to you.

Wewill have adjusting handicaps for both X count and score for the next league, it is just that as ofwhen this league startedI didn't want to donate the $90 for the software to keep track without knowing how many people would actually follow through and be interested. I also didn't have the several hours a week to manually track and calculate an adjustable handicap at the beginning of the contest, and I am certainly not going to change rules half way through.

Next time handicaps will be calculated based upon best 2 of the previous 3 scores shot. This will prevent anyone from sandbagging, and will level the playing field more. If I would have known that we were going to have around 30 participants I would have spent the $$$ this time but hopefully people can still have fun.

If you have other suggestions for future leagues, please feel free to provide constructive criticism that we can take a look at and possibly implement in the future.
