THE US Masters Tipster Competition 2014

Fixed!

How John Huh did not win the lot, I'll never know.

Thanks again Vince for running a brilliantly fun comp. And well done to the winners.

Tremendous fun Vince, even by your standards, you excelled.

The Running Updates must have been a pain to do, but made all the difference.

The amount of times the lead changed was amazing.

Well done to Dom, Methuselah & Greg, too. You got lucky, mind.

At least I finished well clear of Flushy.   

All good, thank you very much.

Fantastic fun, in spite of never really troubling the scorers myself.

Huge thank you to Vince for coordinating this - what a titanic effort. Tikkabowson.

Thanks Vince, really enjoyed my first Masters Tipster comp even though I couldn't win it with two teams! Wonder if you would consider on the next golf one to add in End of round leader for each day. I think it would make it slightly more interactive. (Obviously only if it doesn't cause to much workload). Not a game breaker but maybe something to consider.

Well done winners.

What's next?

I'm glad that you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback.

We included end of round 1 leader in the first year that I ran this competition.

I'm not sure if markets are available for the leaders of rounds 2 and 3.

I think the problem with round 1 leader is that the prices are too large (compared to the other markets that we use) and if anyone were to land the winner at a big price then it would effectively kill the competition at an early stage. If you (or anyone else) has any ideas for incorporating it I'm always  open to suggestions. It might be possible to use a reduced stake for this market but that may complicate things for the entrants.

I thought it ran almost perfectly, I would have prefered it if Ralph were not allowed to enter though. it should be restricted to amatuers only.
If everyone agress next year and in the true spirit of golf perhaps we could give Tikay a handicap / some shots or a head start - maybe even a metaphorical ladies tee?

thanks

Will we be having one of these for The Open Championship?

I'm in if we are.
