Player Selections and Multiplier
For the weekly Steemit Scramble, select three golfers from the tournament 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 |
|---|---|
| 1st – 5th place | 7 |
| 6th – 15th | 4 |
| 16th – 30th | 2 |
| 31st - final cut | 1 |
THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the TOTAL NUMBER OF BIRDIES DURING THE TOURNAMENT BY JORDAN SPIETH. The closest participant(s) to the multiplier statistic will earn DOUBLE their total points for the week. Bonus points will be added to the contestants’ point totals AFTER the multiplier has been calculated.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to the winner of the tournament.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to all unique golfer combinations. If two or more contestants choose the same golfers for the contest, then the contestant who entered their selections first will receive the bonus. Contestants that do not select a unique golfer combination will be ineligible for the multiplier and winning golfer bonuses.
Special Bonus for the Month of September (OPTIONAL)
Select the golfer from the choices below that you believe will finish higher in the Dell Technologies Championship’s final standings:
Rory McIlroy
Rickie Fowler
If you choose the correct golfer, you will receive a 50% bonus for your September points total at the end of the month.
If you choose the incorrect golfer, you will LOSE 25% from your September points total at the end of the month.
Each week, you can accumulate an additional 50% or lose an additional 25% from your total points for the month, giving you a possible 200% maximum bonus or leaving you with 0 points. This is optional every week for the remaining four contests. You can choose to play for this bonus as many times as you like or not at all.
Right/Wrong selections will cancel each other out. If you win the 50% bonus one week then guess incorrectly the next week, no bonus or penalty will be applied to your final points total for the month.
You will only be eligible for this bonus if you have selected a unique golfer combination. If you choose to play for this bonus, make sure you indicate that your golfer selection is your bonus pick. A sample comment with golfer selections should look like this:
Dustin Johnson
Sergio Garcia
Bubba Watson
18 birdies
Bonus: Rickie Fowler
