Breaking Ties in the final standings: Each player in the top ten is ranked. Monies for ties will be distributed by rank. That is if two players in the top ten are tied the prize money each player will win will be determined by adding together the ranked money and dividing by 2.
I did not break ties for anyone in the 20th position of below since there wasn't a big difference in prize money. Instead i used a random name generator to draw for the higher rank.
Prizes will be available in the pro shop following our last regular season game on Oct 1. It is critical that you get me the scores in on time on Oct 1, as once I run the final reports that is it for the year.
