Covers Golf Contest Rules

1.  Each participant will select TWO golfers per tournament.  Once you select a golfer, you may not use that golfer for the rest of the regular season.  There is no "tier" or "A/B/C" list for the golfers.  I will post the field list on either Monday or Tuesday of each week. 

2.  You get the score of your two selected golfers that week  (Justin Rose -7 and Lee Westwood +2 = -5) 

3.  A missed cut, disqualifiction, withdrawal, or made cut/did not finish will receive 5 shots above the LOWEST finishing player who makes the cut(Jimmy Walker finishes in last place at +9...a MC/DNF/DQ/MDF would receive a +14)

4.  The season will start on the Farmers Insurance Open, run 30 regular season weeks until the Wyndham Championship.  The playoffs will run subsequent to the PGA Playoffs (Barclays thru Tour Championship).  The playoff contestants will be a portion of the regular season finishers, and will be determined based on the number of participants.

5.  A participant is able to make their selections up until the final group tees off in a tournament.  Once a player tees off in a tournament, you may not select them for that event.  Once all players have teed off you are not allowed into the contest for that week. 

6.  A missed week will now also receive the same penalty as a MC/DNF/DQ/MDF.  If you have missed 6 weeks overall (20% of the season) or 3 consecutive weeks (10% of the season) you will be eliminated from the competition. 

7.  If you pick the WINNER of a tournament, you will receive a -10 bonus on the score that week.  (Jimmy Walker wins Sony Open @ -17...score is -27)

8.  The FOUR major championships (Masters, US Open, British Open, PGA Championship) will count as double points.  For instance, if you pick Tiger Woods in the Masters and he gets a -3 your score for the week would be -6.  NEW THIS YEAR...in order to further reward higher finishes in majors a 1st place pick will receive -15...a 2nd place pick will receive -7...a 3rd place pick will receive -3 on the final score.  This mainly comes into play for the US Open and British Open.  For example, Lee Westwood finishes in 2nd place @ the British Open with a +2 score...you would receive the double points for a +4 and then the -7 bonus for a -3 overall.  I strongly believe this will even out the two tournaments where scores over par ranked highly.





Good luck to all

Sounds Good CM ! Nice Change with the two golfers per week. If I can make a suggestion : Say If we pick the winner for the week, we should be able to pick him again as some sort of bonus/reward since it is pretty hard to pick the outright winner week in and week out it . Only reason I make this suggestion is because we are picking 2 golfers per week and we will be having slim pickings towards the end of the year.

 

Honestly sairjordan...I like the suggestion...but in the end it would mean more work for me I think.  It's already hard enough making sure people don't use the same guy twice, tracking when they are able to use them twice would get confusing IMO.



GL this year

Fair enough ! Good luck
