    I finished in a tie for 2nd place, but was awarded no prize?  Why? How do they determine who got 2nd place prize, 3rd place, and me none, when we all had the same score?

    First place had a 59, and then 3 of us had 60, but only 2 got prizes.  Feeling a little left out. I read the tournament rules, and there is no discussion of prize distribution in case of a tie?

    These are the rules for handling ties.

    How are ties handled?

    In the event of a tie, the better scoring entrant between or among the tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes of the Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes for such Game.  If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes for such Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest score for the 18th  hole (9th for nine hole games)  in such Game, and any remaining ties will be determined by identifying the lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for nine hole games) through to 1st, as is necessary to determine a winner, and if any ties remain at that point, the earlier-submitted entry between or among the tied entries will be deemed the better scoring entry.

    If multiple people tie for a place, the percentages for those places will be added up and divided by the number of people who tied for the place. For example, if three people tie for 2nd place, the percentages for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place will be totaled up and divided by three. Each player would receive the same amount. 5th place will then get the correct 5th place percentage.

    As for why you didnt get anything dunno.

    Looks like you lost the tiebreaker.

    From the Monthly Master Tier Contest Rules:

    "In the event of a tie, the better scoring entrant between or among the tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes of the Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes for such Game.  If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes for such Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest score for the 18th  hole (9th for nine hole games)  in such Game, and any remaining ties will be determined by identifying the lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for nine hole games) through to 1st, as is necessary to determine a winner, and if any ties remain at that point, the earlier-submitted entry between or among the tied entries will be deemed the better scoring entry."

    I'd email WGT, as far as I know, tie breaker is only for 1st place...otherwise there would never be a tie for any other places.

     

    IMO the 2nd place ties should have split up the winnings.

    I'm one of the other "2nd's" that ended up being placed third.  Like Cannuput I was expecting 3 of us to get 7,500 credits - that being 2nd + 3rd divided by 3.  Instead, the fellow above me got 12,500, I got 10,000 and Can got zip.

    Off topic, the 7 footer I missed on 18 for birdie has been haunting me ever since...

    It seems that maybe the division of prizes doesn't work for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize tournaments only.  Which is a bit rough to get beaten on countback for big prizemoney when you had to pay 500 just to have a crack at it.

    Buddy, if I can help you get this resolved I will.  I'm happy to "give back" my share of what should be your prize.
