Masters Elimination Pool

Our Masters Elimination pool, another popular pool is now open for the 2012 season. Entries close April 4th at 6pm EST.

The top 60 ranked players from the tournament field will be selected and divided into 4 performance groups of 15 based on World Tour Rankings on the Monday of the week of the event. This is a contest of skill that requires contestants to make 1 selection from each group.

The Contest is stroke play, meaning the aggregate score for the contestant's four golfers will determine their position relative to the other contestants. The lower the contestant's aggregate score, the higher the ranking. The Contest does not take into consideration any tournament play after regulation play has completed.

If any of the golfers selected misses the cut, the contestant will be eliminated from the contest provided there are at least 3 contestants to have survived the cut. 

The top 3 contestants, ranked from lowest to highest aggregate score, at the end of official play will be the Final Prize winners. The Prize payouts, will be as follows:

* First Place 50%
* Second Place 30%
* Third Place 20%

Should there be less than 3 contestants to have survived the cut, the prize payouts will be
as follows:

2 Contestants to survive cut ... will compete for the 1st and 2nd prize payouts.
1 Contestant to survive cut ... will receive the first prize payout.

In these 2 instance those remaining contestants with 3 players to have survived the cut will compete for the remaining unclaimed prize payouts.

In the event that a player withdraws prior to start of play or does not start, participants who have selected such players will be provided with the highest ranked player from same performance group. A player who withdraws after having commenced play will not be provided with a substituted player and consequentially will be eliminated.
