The Weekly Steemit Scramble Contest
Tournament Information
Presidents Cup
September 28 – October 1, 2017
Liberty National Golf Club – Jersey City, New Jersey
The PGA Tour heads to New Jersey for the season’s final event – the Presidents Cup, hosted by the Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. The Presidents Cup matches will be played on the 7328-yard, par-71 course and will consist of foursome, four-ball, and singles matches throughout the weekend. This match-play event pits the top players from the United States against the top players from around the world – not including European players, which play against the United States golfers in the Ryder Cup.
The United States team has won 9 of the 11 Presidents Cup events, which started in 1994. The international team has only won once and the teams tied in 2003 for the first and only time.
The current weather forecast for Sunday in Jersey City has high temperatures near 70 degrees, with light wind and no expected precipitation.
Pairings and tee times for Sunday's matches can be found here after the conclusion of Saturday's matches: Sunday Pairings and Tee Times
Player Selections and Multiplier
For the weekly Steemit Scramble, select THREE GOLFERS FROM EACH TEAM that you believe will perform the best in the singles matches on Sunday. Sunday’s pairings will be unknown until the conclusion of the Saturday match play. Based on the final results of match play, golfers will be assigned the following points, which have changed due to the event format:
| Results | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Win by 4+ | 5 |
| Win by 3 | 4 |
| Win by 2 | 3 |
| Win by 1 | 2 |
| Tie | 1 |
THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the FINAL SCORE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TEAM. (The last three Presidents Cups ended with final scores of 19 – 15, 18.5 – 15.5, and 15.5 – 14.5, all in favor of the United States team.) 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 for the player with the largest margin of victory in singles matches on Sunday. If multiple players on your team tie for the largest margin of victory, you will still only receive the bonus once.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded for 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 have a better performance/victory during the singles matches:
Brooks Koepka
Hideki Matsuyama
If you choose the correct golfer, you will receive a 50% bonus for your September points total.
If you choose the incorrect golfer, you will lose 25% from your September points total.
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 for the final four contests that conclude this week. 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 for this week’s contest should look like this:
U.S. Team
Justin Thomas
Dustin Johnson
Jordan Spieth
International Team
Hideki Matsuyama
Jason Day
Adam Scott
Multiplier: 12.5 points
Bonus: Brooks Koepka (optional)
