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:


ResultsPoints Awarded
1st – 5th place7
6th – 15th4
16th – 30th2
31st - final cut1


THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the best score for SUNDAY’s ROUND ONLY, in relation to par. (Example: -5, E, +3) The closest participant(s) to the multiplier statistic will earn DOUBLE their total points for the week. Bonus points will be added to the contestants’ point totals AFTER the multiplier has been calculated.

AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to the winner of the tournament.

AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to all unique golfer combinations. If two or more contestants choose the same golfers for the contest, then the contestant who entered their selections first will receive the bonus. Contestants that do not select a unique golfer combination will be ineligible for the multiplier and winning golfer bonuses.

@ats-david - Great initiative ! I can not really participate in the contest because, though golf is close to my heart, I am not following the coverage much since I travel a lot (mostly in locations there is no golf or golf enthusiasm). Thanks for hosting such contests though. I am sure there are many enthusiastic Steemians who will enjoy. You managed to make me think of the day I got my first hole in one - totally by fluke and after hitting another golfer!!

Since I can't play golf and since the crypto markets are red, I have focused on improving my blogs at the moment. I have posted an interesting blog about Human vs animal eye capabilities, based on my original photos of wildlife. I request you to take a look when you have time and give your comments. It will help me improve my blogs and enrich my Steemit experience.

After reading this post, time to learn about golf, I don't know much about golf, and player names except tiger woods.

Cool stuff!
