The WGT OCTOBER FALL TOUR Contest is a 54-hole stroke play
contest.
Qualifier. The entrants will be given eighteen holes throughout the golf
course, and are challenged to get the ball into the cup for each hole in the
fewest strokes. The number of stokes taken to get the ball into each cup, plus
any penalties, will be recorded for each entrant. When entrant completes all
eighteen designated holes in the Qualifier round, the number of strokes plus
penalties are totaled and comprise the entrant's score in that Game. The lowest
final score received by you for a Game during the Qualification Period will be
recorded as your entry for the Qualifier. The lowest scoring 100 entrants, plus
any additional entrants who are tied in the 100th position (the “Qualifying
Entrants”) will be able to advance to the Championship rounds. If any Qualifying Entrant(s) are not
eligible to win a prize, the prize(s) for such entrants will be awarded to the
entrant(s) eligible to win a prize with the next lowest
score(s).

rounds where they will be given eighteen holes throughout the golf course in
each of two rounds, and are challenged to get the ball into the cup for each
hole in the fewest strokes. The number of strokes taken to get the ball into
each cup, plus any penalties, will be recorded for each entrant. When entrant
completes all thirty-six designated holes in theChampionships, the number of

lowest scoring entrant in the Championships will be a potential Contest winner
(subject to the provision below in the event of a tie between two or more
entrants, and subject to meeting eligibility and all other requirements in these
Official Rules). If the lowest scoring entrant in the Championships is not
eligible to win a prize, the prize will be awarded to the next entrant eligible
to win a prize with the lowest score in the Championships.

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

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

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
