I've had a query from one of the snooker organisers at the club about handicaps and starting a match.

If the first player has a 20 handicap and the second a 60 and it is first to 200 do you guys generally put both scores as a start on the board or do you subtract one from the other and put the difference on the board as a start for the lesser player?

I would have though every player would have had to score at least 200 as if a player had a 200 handicap the match would be over before it starts...
