4. Game
Description.
The WGT KIAWAH CHAMPIONSHIP, 54 Holes, Single Play
Tournament is an 54-hole stroke play game. 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 lowest 50% of the scores
in the first round will move on to play rounds 2 and 3.
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, the number
of strokes, plus penalties, is totaled and comprises the entrant's score
in that Game. The final score received by you for the Game during
the Promotion Period will be recorded as your entry for the promotion. The lowest
scoring qualified entrant will be the 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 (the “Qualifying Entrant). If any Qualifying
Entrant(s) is 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). The lowest 54-hole scores will be the winners of
the tournament.
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.
