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 – 5th place | 7 |
| 6th – 15th | 4 |
| 16th – 30th | 2 |
| 31st - final cut | 1 |
THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: _Pick the TOTAL NUMBER OF BIRDIES BY DUSTIN JOHNSON for the tournament. 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.
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 |

Full 100% and resteemed :-)
Be kind to those who helped you,
Who helped one day.
Be kind to those who could not refuse,
And in a moment the brave defended bravely.
Let fate bring you down with people,
Ready for anything for you.
And let it be from evil, from meanness and lies
Keep true friends!

This has nothing to do with my weekly golf contest.
It is very obvious why you did this. Pretending to be victims in steemspeak is bullshit. If you would like to discuss this matter with me I would love to.
This has nothing to do with my golf contest. If you need to speak to me, you can find me on chats.
It has nothing to do with my relationship with patelincho either and you know it. Don't bring it to the blockchain if you don't want it on the blockchain.
