+This mutator changes the handicap of players based on difference of their score to the mean score. Linear handicap value is calculated using the following formula:
+
+       linear_handicap = |(score - mean) * g_dynamic_handicap_scale| ^ g_dynamic_handicap_exponent
+
+After that the sign is restored and final handicap if calculated using this formula:
+
+       if (linear_handicap >= 0)
+       {
+               handicap = linear_handicap + 1;
+       }
+       else
+       {
+               handicap = 1 / (|linear_handicap| + 1);
+       }
