THE US Masters Tipster Competition 2016

[tikay]

34 tipsters in the £10 pool.

23 of those are also in the £15 pool.


Prizes are as follows:

£10 pool

1st £204
2nd £102
3rd £34


£15 pool

1st £207
2nd £103.5
3rd £34.5



Total £685.

Thank you for your support.

Good luck everyone and have fun.

Good work Vince, a tidy number of entrants, that. Some even have half a chance.

Just so I'm clear about this - as I'm in both pools, I get £411 (£204 + £207) for winning, right?

You're almost right; someone else will get £411 for winning (if they are in both pools).

Either Tikays doing the scoring and misclicked or he started with a TEN at the first hole

[MereNovice]

Everyone has started their round so lets have a look at the old scoreboard.

Got to admire the spreadsheet you must have set up to publish in running like that. Respect

[tikay]

And a most pleasing leaderboard it is, too.
