This is a copy of the one I'm organising at work:

Deadline Wednesday @ 5pm.
Picks will only be published after deadline.

How to enter
· Pick 1 From the World Golf Ranking Top 10
1 Tiger Woods
2 Adam Scott
3 Henrik Stenson
4 Jason Day
5 Phil Mickelson
6 Sergio Garcia
7 Matt Kuchar
8 Justin Rose
9 Rory McIlroy
10 Zach Johnson


· Pick 1 From the World Golf Ranking 11-20
11 Dustin Johnson
12 Bubba Watson
13 Jordan Spieth
14 Graeme McDowell
15 Steve Stricker
16 Jason Dufner
17 Charl Schwartzel
18 Keegan Bradley
19 Brandt Snedeker
20 Ian Poulter


· Pick 2 other golfers not listed above.
· You can use lower ranked golfers in the place of higher ranker golfers i.e. If you don’t want to pick one from the top 10, you can pick two from 11-20. If you don’t want someone from the top twenty you can replace with any other golfer outside the top twenty. But you must pick four golfers.
. Be sure your golfer is in the field. See below. Double check this yourself. Could be wrong\incomplete.

· €20 a head.
· Winner takes all if <= 10 entrants. If > 10 1st 70% & 2nd 30%.

Scoring
· Your score will be the cumulative 72 hole score of each golfer. i.e. say you pick Mickleson, Donald, Kaymer, Watney and they score 282, 280, 272, 280 then your score is 1114.
· The winner will be the person who’s 4 golfers have the lowest combined score.

Missing the cut
· If one of your players fails to make the cut you will get their 36 hole score x 2. i.e. if you pick Westwood and he fails to make the cut with a 36 hole score of 160 then he will get a score of 320 towards the combined score of your 4 golfers.

The Padraig Harrington Rule
· This rule is in place in case your player does a Paddy H. i.e. makes the cut but shoots 90 and 90 in the final two rounds.
· The contribution to the cumulative score of any golfer who makes the cut cannot be bigger than the 72 hole score assigned to any golfer who fails to make the cut.
· So if your players does a PH he will be assigned a score not greater than the score of the worst performing golfer (who has been selected by somebody in the competition) who failed to make the cut.

If your player is DQ'd, WD or taken by aliens & does not complete he will also receive equal of the worst picked score.

The Jim Furyk Rule
If you pick the same golfers as another entrant - tough sh1t.


Field
The Masters has the smallest field of the four major championships. Officially, the Masters remains an invitation event, but there is a set of qualifying criteria that determines who is included in the field. Each player is classified according to the first category by which he qualified, with other categories in which he qualified shown in parentheses. Dates when a qualifying category will be completely determined are indicated in italics.

Golfers who qualify based solely on their performance in amateur tournaments (categories 6–10) must remain amateurs on the starting day of the tournament to be eligible to play.
