The PGA Championship starts Thursday, 8/08/13...

Trying some New Rules:

Pick 5 golfers... Lowest 4 player total score wins (relative to par).

If you have players that miss the cut, multiple their 2 day score by 2 to get their total.

Example: A player misses the cut after Round 2 at +12... Their total score is +24.

CORRECTION:

Looks like there's been a takeover on the "cut" rule. We'll go back to the old rules for that, which I guess means we'll use the position and not score since the old rule says:

"missed cut equals 10 more points than last place finish after cut."

Sorry for the confusion.

You are preaching to the choir with me. I am not advocating for a "no pool participant left behind" policy or PGA golf tournaments where everyone makes the cut and gets a trophy...............
If Tom wants us all to make the cut and send us all a mug, that is up to him.

No, it was my fault for hijacking the pool.

Tom as the founding father of this pool we ARE going back to the original cut rules but we ARE going by the score in relation to par not place finish...much easier to do in your head...we would have the same winners

OK with me. But how will the cut players' score work now? (the old was +10 in position)

Thanks

Just add 10 to final score...+12 last place would be +22 for cut player...we all get the same score for a cut player so the +10 is arbitrary...but the penalty for missing the cut must be penal

OK, so here are the final rules for the PGA Championship:

Pick 5 golfers.

Lowest 4 player total score wins (relative to par).

If you have players that miss the cut, their final score will be 10 strokes higher than the last place player who made the cut.

Sorry for the confusion.
