Pool Format
Each format uses a different system to tier golfers. Pick the one that fits your group.
Vegas Odds
Pick 5
Live Draft
Tiered by Odds
Golfers are grouped into tiers based on their pre-tournament Vegas odds to win. Backing longer shots from lower tiers is rewarded with a bonus multiplier.
- Tiers set by odds ranges (e.g. favorites, mid-range, longshots)
- Upsets from long-shot tiers earn bonus strokes deducted
- Higher variance - great for big groups
Pick 5
Pick 5
Each participant picks 5 golfers — up to 3 Contenders (OWGR top 50) and at least 2 Field Players (outside top 50). Designate one as your winner pick for a −10 bonus.
- 5 picks per entry: max 3 Contenders, min 2 Field Players
- Designate a winner pick for a −10 stroke bonus if correct
- Tiebreaker by closest guess to the winning score
Live Draft
Snake Draft
Participants take turns picking golfers in snake draft order - round 1 goes 1→N, round 2 reverses N→1. Everyone ends up with the same number of picks.
- Snake draft order balances early/late draft positions
- Live or async draft with configurable time per pick
- Commissioner sets or randomizes draft order
