OK guys, this works really well on another site I'm a member of and thought I'd give it a run here. Basically put:
US Masters
The Open Championship
The US Open
The US PGA
Official World Golf Rankings
Bureaucracy
1. 5 player choices (maximum 2 from current top 10)
2. Selections need to be posted in this thread for each Major by the designated time set by me. (2 hours prior to first group tee off for each major)
3. Major Series Winner will be decided on greatest accumulation of prize money for the 4 respective Majors from their 5 selected players (in the unlikely event that more than one ST'er has the same accumulated prize money at the end the prize pool will be shared). You can pick different player selections for each major, obviously.
4. If a player withdraws from the field before tee off on day #1, the 1st emergency will be substituted for all entries with that withdrawn player. (except in the case of the Masters)
5. Any player who withdraws from the event after the tournament starts (ie. after day 1 begins) no substitutes are allowed in their place.
6. I am the Adjudicator in any disputes and all decisions are final.
7. $10 for Major Series punt. Can enter this competition at any time. If you miss the Masters, you can still enter & win but you will have some catching up to do.
8. The Majors Series Winner will be decided on greatest accumulation of prize money for the respective 4 Major’s from the entrants players earnings.
9. If in doubt on any matter, refer to #6 for clarification.
10. The Adjudicator (me) will post the results of the tipping comp in this thread after each major.
11. $10 fee for the series. Ideally it would be great if we could have at least 10+ people in this to make prize pools worthwhile but if a group of 5 guys want to do it then I'm happy to run that too.
12. Prize money will be split – 1st Place 70% of the pot, 2nd Place 20% of the pot, 3rd Place 10% of the pot.
13. Non-payers WILL be named and shamed. In my experience it's the best way to ensure that people get their money, or at least organise something with the winner...
14. If there is interest in this competition for each individual major we can certainly run that too. Just let me know if you would like this and I'll set it up. May take the place of the Coffee Cup challenge if it doesnt get off the ground. (For the record, I'm interested!!! )
