hmm,   interesting idea.

A few years back I used to play in a 10 pin bowling league which scores you with a handicap.  The handicap is worked out with some cunning formula based on the N previous games and so the better you get the lower your handicap (like golf), the handicap gets added to your raw score.    It meant that you could compete on a sort of level playing field with the seriously good people and sometimes win.    I remember one evening I too had a (semi) seriously good day (5 strikes in a row) which happened to be in the singles competition which meant I won top prize in that - what a buzz. 

I don't know of any radio competition that introduces a handicap into the score, I wonder if it would work?
