Entrance Fee/Setup
The entrance fee is $25 for the year. Every player (that's us, not
the golfers) compete in one pool during
the 4 Majors. Each Major is allotted 20% of the total
prize pool, and the Cup is allotted 20% of the prize pool. The winner
of each event gets 15% with the runner up getting 5% of the total
prize pool.
Your Roster
At the start of the season, pick your
12 player roster for the 4 Majors. For each Major,
you get to field a foursome and 2 alternates (just like always) but
can only pick players from your roster.
The Four Majors
Picks: Each player picks 4 golfers and 2 alternates (alt #1
and alt #2). Send your picks by 11:30
PM Wednesday the day before the tournament. If you want to pick one
of the top 4 players on the World
Golf Rankings you can only pick one of them for your foursome.
You can pick another one of them as an alternate. If you violate
the rule and pick 2 of the top 4 for your foursome, you will be allowed
to use the higher ranked player in your foursome, but you cannot use
an alternate to replace your second top 4 pick. That slot will be
assigned the worst finishing score. You must pick players
in the field scheduled to compete. If you pick a player who is not
scheduled to play in the major, that pick is assigned the worst finishing
score for the tournament. You do not use your alternate for that pick.
Alternates
are only used if one of your 4 picks does not start the tournament
(late withdrawal, etc.) or in the unlikely event that every one of
us has fielded a common pick. If your pick does not start the tournament
and he is in the "top 4", he is replaced by your first alternate.
If he is not a "top 4", then he is replaced by your first
alternate that is not "top 4". If there are common picks,
that pick is eliminated and everyone's next available alternate is
used.
Scoring: The scores of the 4 golfers are added up to determine
the winner. If a golfer misses the cut, or starts but does not finish
the tournament (withdraws, is disqualified, etc.), he gets the worst
finishing score of all golfers in that tournament (not just golfers
who are in our competition) PLUS the amount
he missed the cut by. If you pick a golfer who is not
in the top 20 of the World Golf Rankings (see
the list) and he makes the cut, that golfer earns an
additional -2 points. Also, any of your golfers who
finish in the top 5 for the tournament, including ties, earns an additional
-1 point. If you have the winner of the
tournament, he earns an additional -3 points (total).
Tiebreakers:
If two players finish tied for 1st when the scores of their 4 golfers
are added up, the winner is the player with the best score from among
their 4 picks. (Example: John and Mike each end up tied for 1st
at -10. Mike's best player had a -7, while John's best player had
a -5. Mike wins.) If still tied, compare the next best score,
etc.
The Cup
The top 50% of all players in the cumulative
Majors competition qualify for the Cup. You can add/drop 2 players for the Cup. Cup rules are different
from the majors. (Here are our slightly different rules for the Ryder
Cup and the Presidents Cup.)
