MT TOURNAMENT RULES

A skill and knowledge based Competition

OVERVIEW

1. FORMAT: MT Tournaments allow users to show off their skills and Major golf expertise by choosing a team of FOUR golfers to compete in a ‘best ball’ format against foursomes submitted by others in the Major Tradition community. Users can create their own competitions to share with friends and family free of charge.
2. CONTEST PERIOD: Each event will last the length of the associated tournament, typically beginning on Thursday and ending on Sunday of the tournament weekend. Scores will be considered for each 18-hole round, not including any play-off holes.
3. HOW TO PLAY: Registered commissioners can create a pool online. Upon creation, a link will be create which the commissioner can share to allow users to submit their foursome for that competition.

choosing your foursome

1. Entries will consist of four golfers participating in that weekends professional golf tournament. Substitutes may be selected and will be used as noted in (4) below.
2. Each participating golfer will be assigned a salary. The foursome selected must fall within a certain salary limit as noted on the submission page.
3. If you submit a duplicate foursome to one that has already been submitted, you must change your entry. Only one unique entry allowed per team. First submitted, first served.
4. In the case a starting golfer withdraws from the tournament prior to teeing off in the second round, selected substitutes will be used. Substitutes will replace the starting golfer ONLY for rounds in which that golfer has not played any holes (i.e. if a golfer withdraws 4 holes into the first round, they will only be subbed from round 2 on…). Subs will only replace single golfers, and if more starting golfers withdraw than substitutes available, no replacement will be made beyond the number of substitutes. Golfers who withdraw after teeing off for round 2 (or in rounds 3 or 4) will not be replaced.

HOW THE SCORING WORKS:

1. Participants will compete in a best-ball format, where each user’s score on any given hole is the lowest score of the golfers in that rounds foursome.
2. Golfers who have withdrawn from the event or are cut in later rounds will not count towards scoring.
3. Participants will rank from lowest total score to highest.
4. Ties are broken by live golfer scoring position, so that if multiple participants are at any time tied, the player with the professional golfer placing highest will break the tie. In the event the tied foursomes highest ranked golfer is the same or tied with an equal placing professional golfer, the second highest placing golfers in each foursome will be considered, followed by the third and fourth.
