2. Your score for each hole is determined by your scorecard. The scorecard is based on how much money you win for that hole. Money is determined by adding all the golfers' (you picked for that weekend) winnings for that particular hole. Money will be rounded to the nearest thousand.
3. For each event, each participant has to pick up to 5 golfers. There is a salary cap of 26K for each event. A golfer's salary is determined by his world ranking. The salaries will be modified at least twice during the course of the season. There is no pre-determined time when salaries will be adjusted.
3a. Each participant is required to "sit out" 2 holes/events during the course of the year. If a player fails to submit picks they will be assumed to be "sitting out". If a player has reached 2 "sit-outs" and fails to make picks afterwards, they will recieve $0 and no FedEx points for that week. This rule was designed to add variety to the lineup and give flexibility to players who go on vacation or accidently miss a week.
4. You score Fed-Ex points based on all your golfers' winnings. The participant with the most dollars is considered the winner. Then Fed-Ex points will be assigned to each player based on their placing. We use the exact formula that the PGA uses to determine Fed-Ex points.
5. In the event of a tie of dollars between participants. First tie breaker will go to the participant with a lower salary cap used to purchase the lineup. If that is a tie, then the tie remains- unless it's a tie for first. The involved players will split the points. However, a tie-breaker tournament will be chosen by the Commissioner to determine the hole's champion- which is only for statistical purposes and not to add more points to the winner's total.
6. Fed-Ex points are then added to the cumulative leaderboard.
7. The top 8 qualify for the playoff season. Everyone's Fed-Ex points are adjusted based on the same system the PGA playoff system uses. After each week of the playoff round, the bottom 2 players are cut. In the third and last playoff round, the field is down to the Top 4.
