This is a unique event that will count towards the season standings. Hopefully, I can explain the scoring. For those familiar with the World Cup soccer event, this event has been structured the same way. There will be round robin group play (16 groups) starting Wednesday. The winners of the 16 groups will advance to a knockout tournament to be played over the weekend.

Rules:

Select one golfer from each group to advance to the knockout round.

Then, fill in the knockout round matches all the way to the Championship match (just like a March Madness pool). Points will be awarded by selecting correct winners regardless of the actual match-up.

Scoring:

Group Winner : 10 points per pick

Round of 16 : 20 points per pick

Round of 8 : 40 points per pick

Semi Finals: 80 points per pick

Championship : 160 points

Third Place Match : 40 Points

Tiebreaker #1 - Number of holes needed to complete the Championship match.

Tiebreaker #2 - Lowest ranked golfer to advance to the knockout round using the current Official World Golf Rankings.

I'll post the groupings/bracket in the next post.
