when someone ask you highest break in a handicap tournament

[mchpddl1]

If i join a handicap tournament someone asks me my highest break (for calculating my handicap), mine was 95 on a slow table with big buckets and light balls, but highest was only 65 on a tournament table with fast cloth and bouncy cushion, which one should i quote?

the mean
80

Use the 95 as it was in a match and you still had to make the balls, no matter what the conditions were.

Agreed.......

I remember the first time I went with a mate to a H/Cap tournament that a club ran every Sunday night. Both my mate and myself have made centuries (at the time we had both made about 20 in our lifetime) My mates first opponent was recieving a 5 point headstart and had a 135 total clearance...... My mate wondered if he actually needed the 5 start!!!!

I have seen players who have made a hundred break and you just look at them and think 'How the F.......'

And there are other players who I have seen knock in regular 50's, 60's and 70's but only have a high break of about 80!!!

Highest break doesn't always reflect how good the player is!!
