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.
How is it computed?
1) If the handicap is 100% (default), the multiplier is 1. 2) If the handicap is greater than 100% (bonus), the multiplier is 1 + ((handicap - 100) / 100). 3) 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 |
