Player Selections and Multiplier

For the weekly Steemit Scramble, select three golfers from the match play 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
Winner	12
Semifinals & Consolation	7
Round of 16 & Quarterfinals	4
Pool Play, 2+ points	2
Pool Play, 1+ points	1

THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the number of golfers with 3 wins in pool play. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. The contest is funded with a minimum pot of 30 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%.
