Prior to the start of each session, NAPA will assign a skill level to each team. The skill level for each teams is determined by the combined sum of both player’s skill levels in the same game format, divided by two (2). The formula is as follows (SL+SL)/2. So, if one player has a skill level of 85 and his/her teammate has a skill level of 37, the team skill level will be a 61 (85+37)/2. If at any time a team’s skill level does not equate to a whole number, NAPA will round the team’s skill level to the nearest whole number, up or down. After a team’s skill level has been set, the team skill level will change after each week of play during the session, based on their performance.

League Operators are permitted to use previously established Scotch Doubles skill levels for teams entering a new session with NAPA HQ approval.
