Individual Battle Honours: Are you up to the challenge?

Jason van Wyngaard considering his options at the 2012 IWF World Championships.
MSSA has finally changed the Super League back to the very successful Individual Battle Honours.

The holder of the Individual Battle Honours may be challenged at any time by any MSSA Registered Player, as long as the notice period is adhered to, and is fought using the Handicap system.

The Handicap System is a proven developmental system which makes it possible for newcomers to have a fighting chance, pun intended, against the older and more experienced players.

Players enter with a handicap of 3, where older and more  experienced players may have a handicap of 10.
All Handicap games are played on a 32 - 0 scoring system.

However where a player with a handicap of 3 takes on a player with a Handicap score of 10, the player with a Handicap score of 3 gets 14 points, out of a possible 32, off his/her opponent before the game even starts.

Currently, the current holder has a Handicap score of 10. Everybody thus gets an advantage - it is going to be so much fun!

Thus the competition is up for grabs.
