Scoring
- Each golfer's final tournament score (relative to par) counts for your entry.
- Your best (lowest) 5 scores count — the highest 3 scores are dropped.
- The entry with the lowest cumulative score from their top 5 golfers wins.
- Scores update live during tournament rounds.
Cut Rule
- At least 5 of your 8 golfers must make the cut to remain in the pool.
- If fewer than 5 make the cut, your entry is eliminated.
- Golfers who miss the cut receive a score of +10 (penalty) for pool purposes.
Tiebreakers
- Tiebreaker #1: Closest guess to the actual winning score (to par) wins. Example: if the winner shoots -14, the entry closest to -14 wins the tiebreaker.
- Tiebreaker #2: In the event of a remaining tie, the average score of your top 5 qualifiers during Sunday's final round determines the winner. (This is automatic — no pick needed.)
