3rd Edition - Extra MVPs, no other handicaps, other options are set to 3rd edition
LRB 2002 - Standard LRB Handicaps are turned on, other options are set to LRB 2002
LRB 2003 - Standard LRB Handicaps are turned on, other options are set to LRB 2003
Customer - This is actually CUSTOM (meaning custom settings). This just indicates you have changed at least one option setting so that you are no longer using one of the three option group settings above.

NOTE: ALL THESE SETTINGS ARE FOR ALL OPTIONS, THEY ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR HANDICAPS.

The handicap specific options are described below (taken from readme.txt):

----------------------------------------------------------------
54. Handicap Table
----------------------------------------------------------------
Starting in 7.1+ a partial LRB handicap table is available.
At the time I am writing this there are 20 results available.

In the options dialog there is now a drop down list to
select how to handle handicaps. The options are:
"Extra MVPs" - This is the 3rd Edition rules of getting extra MVPs
"LRB Handicap" - Use internal LRB handicap table (this is the default).
"Custom Handicap.ini" - Uses an external custom handicap table in an INI file.
"No Handicaps" - Turns off all Handicaps.

The LRB Handicap table is only partially implemented. To see the
20 available handicaps open the "handicap.ini" file.

You can edit the handicap.ini file to customize the handicap table.
The handicap.ini file is only used when the server option is set
to "Custom Handicap.ini". When the server is set to
"LRB Handicap" jbb uses an internal handicap table and ignores the
handicap.ini file. So for example, you could have several entries
in the handicap.ini file be EXTRA TRAINING. This would increase
your chances of getting an extra reroll and even make it possible
to gain multiple rerolls. You can also remove results you don't like
simple by changing the text to "REROLL". This will cause jbb to
reroll the handicap result if this item is rolled.


If you just want to see the list of handicaps available in the client look in the handicaps.ini file included with jbb.

Thanks SkiJunkie!

I guess if I was a little less lazy and read a little more I would have found that!

This lazy 455 appreciates your time and effort!
