The Weekly Steemit Scramble Contest
Tournament Information
World Golf Championships – Mexico Championship
March 2 – 5, 2017
Club de Golf Chapultepec – Mexico City, Mexico
Last year’s champion, Adam Scott, is in the field again for this tournament. He had a somewhat disappointing 14th-place finish last week in his champion defense at The Honda Classic and will be looking to defend his tournament title once again this week at the Mexico Championship. He’ll be joined this week by plenty of big names, including last week’s winner, Rickie Fowler, and Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, and Jordan Spieth. Also in the field will be previous World Golf Championship winners, Dustin Johnson (2015), Patrick Reed (2014), Justin Rose (2012), and Phil Mickelson (2009).
The Club de Chapultepec course is 7,245 yards from the tips and is a par-72 course. It has a 74 rating and a slope of 133.
Tee times begin at 11:03am CST, 12:03pm EST, on Thursday, March 2nd.
The forecasted high temperatures for the tournament are in the low to mid-70s with light breezes throughout the weekend. There is currently a projected 40% chance of rain on Sunday.
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 – 10th | 4 |
| 11th – 20th | 2 |
| 21st - final cut | 1 |
THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Choose the number of golfers finishing the tournament under par. (There were a total of 22 golfers who finished under par in last year’s tournament.) The closest participant(s) 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 group selections. The bonus will be added to the contestants’ point totals AFTER the multiplier has been calculated. If two or more contestants choose the same group of golfers for the contest, then the contestant who entered their selections first will receive the bonus.
Here is the top-20 Fed Ex Cup leaderboard as of Monday, February 20th. These are only the Fed Ex standings. This is not a list of golfers in the current tournament. Please choose your selections from the current tournament field. For the complete Fed Ex Cup standings you can visit this link from PGATour.com.
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 50 STEEM. 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%.

I pull my tiny flag and I smack you with it. (lightly) It is my stake, and although I acknowledge these games may be good for the platform, the comments show how many playing compared to voting.
In my opinion, this does not seem to have the traction it should for the whale pod voting it is receiving.
(Really, the end result of this comment and flag are to bring users, comments, and drama to your post) Congratulations.
I don't care what the reasons for flagging are. Flag as you please. From this point going forward, comments about flagging on my posts will be downvoted to reflect the ranking/priority that they have with me and the content of the blog post.
@ats-david f... it am joining!

I'm sorry, @applecrisp, but entries for this week are already closed. Tee times began at 12:03pm EST.
Be sure to get in next week's contest. The post will be published on Tuesday.
@smooth
Shits and giggles aside though, you're doing exactly what steem guild said you would.
@smooth why do you pump these posts that add 0 future-value to Steemit? No one is going to come to Steemit for any of these posts after a week, month, year... These posts are irrelevant apart from the gambling-mentality to entice people to support it. "concentrated whale voting" doesn't apply to you? You think this has value while knowledge that has real future value is not of value to Steemit? Real content has real comments that engage and add value. Picking things isn't real engagement. What is up with your discernment of posts that have value?
Please take this elsewhere.
could you follow me, follow back :D
Like you did with steemguild?
I forgive you for your ignorance.
I'll be happy to discuss it with you in the appropriate venue, which this is not. Please control yourself.
You need to control your self and your behavior of thinking you can decide what is or isn't worthy of a reward on the whole platform. And the answer to the question is something the whole community should know.
You are engaging in abusive thread hijacking either deliberately or due to poor self control. Please stop.
@smooth .. hmmm witch hunting going on between two parties...
please check your chat. Thank you
children get back to posting please!
