What Is A Handicap Multiplier?

A Handicap Multiplier is a special multiplier used for a variety of purpose to compute something specific to a player based on that player's handicap. These can be anywhere in the range of -300% to 300% for each side.

How is it computed?

  • If the handicap is 100% (default), the multiplier is 1.
  • If the handicap is greater than 100% (bonus), the multiplier is 1 + ((handicap - 100) / 100).
  • If the handicap is less than 100% (penalty), the multiplier is 1 - ((100 - handicap) / 325).

Some examples (some values approximate):

Handicap Multiplier
20% 0.75
50% 0.85
70% 0.90
100% 1.00
130% 1.30
200% 2.00

One thing to note is that playing with a positive handicap for the human player or a negative handicap for the AI player will make you ineligible to earn achievements for that game.
