Here is a breakdown of the rules:

*** If you have any questions, please feel free to reply here, send me a PM or you can email me. I will send out any clarifications that I feel are necessary. Good luck.***

You may look at the world golf rankings at this website:

RULES:
1. Entry fee is $20. You may enter as many teams as you like for $20 each. The funds MUST be transferred to WANDIGO by Thursday morning (April 7th @ 7am) before the first tee time.

2. See list at bottom for golfers. You will pick 2 golfers from Group 1, 1 golfer from Group 2, 1 from Group 3, 1 from Group 4, 1 from Group 5, and 1 from Group 6. These 7 golfers will make up your team for the entire tournament.

3. I will use the scores from your top 5 golfers as your score for each day. The bottom 2 scores will be dropped (except in the case of a tie breaker for the best daily score - see below). **Note: If a player withdraws prior to the start of the tournament, you may alter your team to include a player from the withdrawing player's group prior to the start of play Thursday morning. However, if you fail to do this, the withdrawing player will have a score equal to the worst score posted on each day. If a player withdraws during the tournament, tough luck. The withdrawing player will have a score equal to the worst score posted on each day. I recommend staying up on the golfing news so one of your picks doesnt back out last minute.

4. Your top 5 scores for each day will be added together for your team's final tournament score at the end of Sunday.

5. Important: If your team does not have 5 players make the cut, you will take the worst score for the day as your player's score. Example: If you have 4 players make the cut, you will use those 4 scores for Saturday/Sunday, and you will have to take the worst score posted on Saturday as your 5th score that day and the worst score posted on Sunday as your 5th score that day. If you only have 3 players make the cut, the worst score will count twice on Saturday and Sunday.

6. The best team score from each Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will get 10% of the total pot as a prize. To determine this winner, I will take the top 5 scores for that team (as discussed in Rule 3). In the event of a tie, I will go to the 6th player for this prize only. If we are tied after the 6th player, I will go on to the 7th player. If we are still tied after all 7 players' scores have been put together (and assuming that the two teams are not identical), we will start with each teams' top score and whichever is the better score will win. If there is a tie, we will go to the 2nd best score for the day and so on until there is a winner. If all 7 scores are identical, the team will split the prize. The only reason we will use the 6th and 7th players will be for these tie breakers.

7. Payouts:
10% to the best score on Thursday
10% to the best score on Friday
10% to the best score on Saturday
10% to the best score on Sunday
10% to 3rd place overall
15% to 2nd place overall
35% to 1st place overall

8. Tiebreakers: In the event of a tie in overall scores (and again assuming that the teams are not identical), here are the tie breakers:

(a) I will use the individual players' scores. I will start with each teams' best finishing player for entire tournament (not just Sunday). If the top player for each team has the same overall score, I will move to the 2nd best player for each team, and so on.

(b) If the teams are still tied, I will split the prize. If 2 teams are tied for 1st place, they will split the prize for 1st and 2nd place (50% of the pot). If 3 teams are tied, they will split the prize for 1st through 3rd (60%).

9. Important: If your team does not conform to the rules, your team will be thrown out and your money will be refunded UNLESS you fix it before anyone tees off on Thursday.

10. I would prefer to have these as soon as possible, so that I can have a master sheet with everyone's teams. In any event, these teams must be in by 7 am on Thursday April 7th.

These are all based on world rankings. He was playing worse last year when he got 4th so he's still not a bad pick. Doesnt mean Im gonna pick him but, he and Phil just have a knack for playing well at Augusta.

Am interested depending on who is holding.

Prefer not to hold, but if no-one else steps up that people would be comfortable holding, will do.

Interested as well, also would prolly be willing to hold if nobody else steps up.

I'm definitely in, put me down!

if you just start taking entries you will get more people joining. It was like the second chance march madness pool. There were only 4 or 5 people max that said they were interested and it ended up with about 23 entries or something like that. And im sure a few people will have more than 1 entry

guess im rooting for ishikawa at every tournament. this is pretty awesome
