Nice site here. I play ADA a lot.
Handicapping in ADA for '01 games pretty much comes down to who starts. The way it works is pretty much is to figure out how many darts the higher player needs if they were to shoot the avg to get to 301. Let's say the higher player is a 20. 301/20 = 16 rounded up. Now the second player is a 10. 10 * 16 = 160. That player would start at 160 and the higher one 301. So, if you hit your avg, the player who starts first wins.
The only negative to this formula is your '01 scores always count for hdcp, but your Cricket does not. In cricket, the better team gives up marks but usually if they throw like they should and play smart (point any open number you can get your hands on to make up the marks lost). They can win whether they started or not.
