   4. Game Description.

       The Contest is an online, one-round, 18-hole, stroke-play golfing contest. The entrants will play 18 holes throughout the golf course and are challenged to get the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible. When the entrant completes the 18-hole course, the combined score for all 18 holes will comprise the entrant's final score for each completed Game (“Final Score”). Entrants may play the Game as many times as they wish during the Contest Period, but only the entrant’s lowest Final Score received during the Contest Period will be recorded as the entrant’s Entry in the Contest. The entrant with the lowest Final Score among all the qualified Entries in the Contest will be a potential winner (subject, however, 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 a winner is eligible to participate in the Contest but is not eligible to win a prize, the prize will be awarded to the entrant eligible to win prizes with the next lowest Final Score.

      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 the 17th hole (8th for nine-hole games) through to the 1st hole, 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 for this Contest.

The odds of winning the Contest depend on the number of eligible Entries and eligible participants in and their relative skill in the Contest.
