TheWahoo Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The instructions state: "The fifth player is open to any player not specifically listed in the first 4 tiers." I interpreted that to mean is should be a player not listed in the first 4 tiers supplied for selections. It seems that some have interpreted that to mean a player not chosen from the first 4 tiers. So there seems to be some confusion. Perhaps, such should be specifically defined before entry closure to avoid a potential problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckymeyer Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 You interpreted that correctly. Personally I felt that "Pick someone that isn't listed in the first 4 tiers" means exactly what it says. Invalid entries are tracked and eliminated from the competition.

MaxEntropy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The instructions state: "The fifth player is open to any player not specifically listed in the first 4 tiers." IMO, that statement is quite clear. It sounds like you are saying some entries did not understand and have picked a Tier 1 player as their 5th because they did not pick them? For example, I have Jason Day as my Tier 1 (for now, I'm a bit on the fence at the moment). I can't pick DJ as my 5th pick, just because I didn't list him. At least that's how I read the rules.

Being able to follow directions is always a plus if you want to win prizes (or be selected for a testing opportunity) Thank you for your response. I trust that you know my intent was not to cause trouble but to help avoid the potential. Your response now leaves no doubt regarding the fifth tier selection. Hopefully, those that did not specifically comply with directions will make the necessary revision and avoid elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDque Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 FWIW, we had about 150 entries DQ for this same reason during The Masters. None of them would've won a prize but some would've been darn close. It's still a good indication of how hard it can be to follow simple directions.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy As Jack Nickalaus used to say when people complained about the course set up. "Ok, I can eliminate them from contention" Trust me we have discussed the verbiage many times over and put it out for others outside the staff to see if it was ambiguous in anyway. Sadly many people will try to twist words to fit there needs. But in this case they will be DQ'd before they ever tee off!!

revkev Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I will say it's a bit of a struggle for me to see who is in the field but not in a tier. I think the instructions are crystal clear that the last choice is a guy not in the top 4 tiers. I'm still stunned that the guy I picked wasn't in a tier but I just double checked and he's not.

poprocksncoke Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Looks like the same issues are coming up for The Open Contest. Noticed a lot getting their 5th pick from the Tier 1 players.
