Abstract
⺠The incentive effect of a handicap in a tournament is studied. ⺠Effort incentive is captured by the probability of being on the cutoff of winning. ⺠A handicap can decrease effort incentives of the advantaged or the disadvantaged group. ⺠Average effort level, however, will always increase by handicap as long as performance is informative of effort.
