This page shows hypothetical results for Monday races with fixed
handicapping. The usual Monday results are based on a rolling time-on-time
handicap — there are different possible choices for the fixed
handicap — on this page, for the fixed handicap, we are using the Standard
Handicap GPHSPSC which was derived at registration. The formula
for this derivation from ECPA JOG ratings is shown at the top of the page.
The Standard Handicap is a general purpose handicap and, as such,
will be used for both time-on-ditance and time-on-time handicapping.
The formula for GPHSPSC introduced in 2023 ensures that the ECPA JOG ratings shown on this page
are correct depite the underlying rating having been discarded after
calculating and storing the (possibly rounded) Standard Handicap. In
previous years the inferred ECPA JOG rating is only approximate.
Also, the current formula for GPHSPSC honours PHRF
time-on-distance handicapping as-is and honours PHRF time-on-time
handicapping with a TCF using a 750s/mi. B Factor suitable for
a very light air lake.
Note that almost all handicapping can be reformulated in terms of a derived GPH
while preserving the calculated corrected times
(the exception being performance curve scoring).
The results from either the time-on-ditance or the time-on-time handicapping
scheme should be very similar. Neither will be representative of results
with rolling handicapping.
That (as of 2023) the ToD and ToT columns on this page are for valid PHRF corrected times
should not be considered an endorsement of PHRF handicapping in general, rather
an acknowledgement that PHRF is just good enough to seed Mondays' rolling handicaps.
