Here are the results from last week’s contest for the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.
Steemit Scramble Results – the Memorial Tournament
Jason Dufner won the tournament in Dublin, Ohio this past weekend with a score of -13, beating out both Anirban Lahiri and Rickie Fowler by three strokes. This was Dufner’s first victory of the 2017 season and only his second top-10 finish. With this victory, Dufner has moved into 13th place on the FedEx Cup leaderboard.
These are the results of this week’s Steemit Scramble:
| Place | Contestant | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | @moonie | 18 |
| 2nd | @liberty-minded | 17 |
| 2nd | @sevinwilson | 17 |
The 2x multiplier was the number of birdies by Phil Mickelson for the duration of the tournament, which was 17. The closest to that total was @liberty-minded, who guessed 16. So, @liberty-minded was able to double his golfer points for the week from 6 to 12, and also received the 5-point bonus for having a unique golfer combination.
The total pot for the weekly contest was 86 SBD. The 1st place contestant received 43 SBD, and the 2nd place contestants each received 21.5 SBD. Here is the proof of payout:
Please keep in mind that all points will accumulate for the monthly and season-long contests. Here are the top-10 contestants for the Scramble through the current month’s standings. The top-5 contestants each month will receive prizes and the top-10 for the season will also receive prizes. The current monthly contest will run through the end of June.

Player Selections and Multiplier
For the weekly Steemit Scramble, select three golfers from the tournament field that you believe will perform well and finish highest in the final standings. Based on the final results of the tournament, golfers will be assigned the following points:
| Results | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| 1st place | 12 |
| 2nd – 5th | 7 |
| 6th – 15th | 4 |
| 16th – 30th | 2 |
| 31st - final cut | 1 |
THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the best score for any single round during the tournament, in relation to par. (Example: -6, Even, +2) The closest participant to the multiplier statistic will earn DOUBLE their total points for the week.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to all unique golfer combinations. The bonus will be added to the contestants’ point totals AFTER the multiplier has been calculated. If two or more contestants choose the same golfers for the contest, then the contestant who entered their selections first will receive the bonus.
How to Play and Win
In a comment on this post, submit your three golfers and your prediction for the weekly multiplier. ONLY ONE COMMENT SUBMISSION PER USER, PER WEEKLY CONTEST.
Submissions will be confirmed at the start of the weekly tournament. ALL CONTEST SUBMISSIONS MUST BE ENTERED PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED START TIME AT THE FIRST TEE ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT. Late submissions and any edits after that time will be automatically disqualified from the weekly contest.
There will be three winners each week. The winners will be the contestants with the most points gained, based on the points distribution outlined in Player Selections and Multiplier. All point totals earned from all contestants will carry over for the monthly and season-long contests.
The contest is funded with a minimum pot of 10 SBD. The total weekly pot distribution will be divided as follows:
| Place | Rewards Percentage |
|---|---|
| 1st | 50% |
| 2nd | 30% |
| 3rd | 20% |
In the event of a tie, the pot will be split between the tying contestants. If the tie occurs for third place, then all tying contestants will split the 20% payout. If the tie occurs in first or second place, then the tying contestants will split the total payout for those places.
Example: A two-way tie for first place will split 80% of the pot (50% + 30%) and third place will receive the remaining 20%. A three-way tie for second place will split 50% of the pot (30% + 20%) and first place will receive the allotted 50%.

hey @ats-david ...i signed up to steemit AGES ago and just forgot about it. Something reminded me and now I'm trying to build a following.
I'm obsessed with golf and sports and a serious daily and season long fantasy player.
Before seeing this post I had created a contest of my own for the upcoming USOPEN this week. I did not know that you run them regularly and don't want to stomp on your ground or think I am trying to steal your idea. Mine is a bit different anyways.
I am trying to gain a following on steem over the past week and tbh, i suck at it so far. I was wondering if you would be willing to cross-promote with my golf contest for this week.
If I can do something in return, name it. I don't exactly have the influence on here for you to benefit from me promoted your contest (thought I will do so anyways to my limited followers when it is posted).
Whaddya think? Will you help a minnow out?
Hey - I'll see what I can do in my channels to get you some visibility for your contest. There may be some people interested in something like that.
that would be awesome. if it doesn't work out and no one is interested, no worries. the upvote was generous, appreciate it again.
@ats-david really appreciate that vote. please let me know if i can help you out sometime including if you are still working with the group to develop a fantasy sports platform for steemit
