Each team must fill 10 roster spots within the allotted salary cap of $350. Player values will be posted on the website and a notification e-mail will be sent to contestants the Friday prior to the tournament. The basis for the values is the Official World Rankings. 4. If you do not submit a complete roster of 10 players or you submit a roster valued over the $350 cap at the time of the start of the tournament, you will not receive credit for the particular tournament and will be ineligible to receive winnings for that tournament or the cumulative overall contest. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not over the $350 cap. 5. You must e-mail your roster selections to ttk3vols2000@yahoo.com by the first group's tee-off (Note: If the tournament is rain-delayed, you have until first group actually tees-off). The final roster selections will carry throughout the tournament (i.e., you cannot change players during a tournament). 6. Tournament scoring is computed by taking each managers lowest 4 scoring golfers at the end of the tournament, not each particular round, out of the manager's 10-golfer roster. If a team does not have at least 4 players make the cut, the team score for that tournament will be computed by adding one stroke more than the worst player's total score for that tournament for each player less than the required 4 (e.g., if a team only has 2 players make the cut and the worst score for the tournament is a 306, then 2 scores of 307 will be added to the 2 players' scores that did make the cut). 7. Scoring will be based upon information which is deemed to be reliable. In the event a golfer's score is reported differently by different sources, the score reported by PGATour.com will generally be considered to be correct, unless another score is demonstrably the correct one. 8. Upon completion of each round, I will update the results page for the particular tournament to give a snapshot of real-time standings. 9. Prior to the start of each major after The Masters, each golfer will be re-priced based upon his actual performance in the previous major and his Official World Ranking. NOTE: Salary cap will remain at $350 for each major. The following tournaments will be included:
