I thought of a game that might be fun for watching the Masters this weekend. Anyone interested?
All you have to do is pick 12 players who you think will finish well.
See http://www.masters.com/en_US/players/pa ... index.html for the pairings.
Picks must be made before tomorrow. You could post your player list here. But if you want to make sure nobody uses your picks to get an advantage on you, I suppose you could PM your picks to me and I won't open until tomorrow.
The scoring works like this:
The best finishing 8 of 12 players will be used. That means you better not pick more than 4 people who end up missing the cut. If more than 4 of your picks miss the cut, each player missing the cut will get assigned a score equal to the number of players who made the cut plus 1 (about 80). For the rest of the players you pick who do make the cut, you get points based on the position they finish in. 10th place gets 10 points. 27th place gets 27th points, etc. But if it's a 3 way tie for 10th, you average 10, 11, and 12th places just like prize money and each would get an average position / point value of 11. But you don't have to worry about that, just make your 12 picks. Oh, one more thing. You get bonuses if any of your players finish in the top 5. -10 for 1st place, -5 for 2nd, -3 for 3rd, -2 for 4th, & -1 for 5th. Add up all your points and all your bonuses and the player with the fewest points wins!
