The Open Competition!

by sportform Mon 14 Jul 2014, 10:23 pm

The Open takes place this weekend at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club. kouchi and Bobby4320 have already had success this season with The Masters and the US Open respectively while Aruglia will be looking for back-to-back wins in The Open.

Remember the first tee off time is early Thursday morning so best to get your selections in by Wednesday night.

The rules remain the same so if you haven't played before all you have to do is select six golfers, before the first tee off on Thursday, then sit back and see how they get on. I will hopefully get a leaderboard up for each round sometime the following morning.

The winner will be the person with the lowest combined score from their three best finishers. That allows upto three of your selections to not make the cut. The competition scores will be the actual scores from the golfers. So if you have Tiger Woods and he scores 280 for his four rounds, you get 280 towards you score.

The full rules are listed at the bottom of this post.

Here is a list of the winners so far and you can see the previous Open final leaderboards in the spoilers below:-

	The Masters	US Open	The Open	US PGA
2014	kouchi	Bobby4320
2013	EmmDee57	Shotrock	Aruglia	raycastleunited
2012	Alsie	Bobby4320	EmmDee57	dynamark
2011	GG	WillyGilly	Yadsendew	Faldono1fan
2010	navyblueshorts	no1yankee	Rich	venice1

The Open 2013

The Open 2012

To clarify here are the rules:-

1) Select six golfers before 6.25am on Thursday.

2) Your score will be the cumulative scores from the three best performing golfers of your six selections.

3) As in any golf competition the person with the lowest score wins. Par for this competition would be 864.

4) You must have atleast three of your selections make the cut in order to win.

5) In the event of a tie for first place, your fourth best placed selection will be the decider. If there is still a tie after that the fifth then sixth selections will be considered respectively.

Hope that explains it all and good luck.

A different competition would have been with the same rules, but once the competition is opened, you cannot choose a player who has been picked already. If you had six players that would only mean 26 entrants. (4 players = 39 etc.)
