PGA Parlay 2004 Rules

 

Game Presented By Mark Cunningham-Golf Fanatic

 

Here Are Some Basic Guidelines

 

PGA Parlay is available to any member of Bestballers, Ghost Mob, or Marathon’s leagues. PGA Parlay 2004 begins on Thursday, February 5th, 2004, with the first tournament of the season being the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am. You do not have to participate every week, although it is recommended. Remember, this is fake money!

 

How To Play

 

1. First, to sign up, send me an e-mail at jbmmcunning@msn.com including your name, team name, e-mail address, and which league you are coming from. I will respond confirming your entry.

 

2. Every other week I will e-mail you a Microsoft Word document of about 15 questions regarding that week’s Yahoo! PGA Tournament.

 

3. The deadline to submit your entry via e-mail is the morning of Round 1 of the tournament at 7:00 AM ET.

 

4. PGA Parlay will start with the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am on Thursday, February 5th, 2004 and run every other week until The Tour Championship which ends Sunday, November 7th, 2004. There will be about 20 Parlay weeks.

 

5. Here is the catch. You do not have to answer every question. That is why the name of the game is called PGA Parlay. You start the season off with $0. It costs a dollar for each question you answer. You get $3 for guessing correct on Over/Under questions and $9 for correctly guessing the Fill In The Blank ones. For questions like guessing Three of the Top Five Finishers, you get $3 for each correct golfer.

 

6. I will keep score each Parlay week. I will send participants the Overall and Weekly Leaderboard occasionally, and everything will also be posted on the Bestballers web site.

 

7. Good luck this Fantasy Golf season and may the best man or woman win! If you have any comments, problems, or questions, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail at jbmmcunning@msn.com.

 

 

Here are some examples of what will be on the Parlay Card.

 

Fill In The Blank

 

Who Will Win? _David Duval_

 

 

Name Three of the Top Five Finishers.

 

1. _Peter Jacobsen_

2. _Justin Leonard_

3. _Corey Pavin_

 

 

Over/Under

 

Here are two examples of Over/Under questions. For questions related to the golfer’s score, Over/Under works like this because, in golf,  the lower you score, the better, obviously. If the Over/Under is 17 ˝  and you choose Over, you think the score will be -17, -16, -15, or worse. If you choose Under, you think the score will be -18, -19, -20, or better. Otherwise, it is regular Over/Under.

 

How many times will Sergio Garcia putt in Round 1?

 

                                                27 ˝                           Under

 

How many strokes under par will the winner be?
