How to Play PigSkinGolf
1. General. The objective of PigSkinGolf is to play an 18-hole round of golf by accurately predicting the winners each week of Pro football games during the regular season as well as the playoffs and bowl games. The seventeen week regular season is the first seventeen holes on your round in PigSkinGolf. The entire post-season is the 18th hole. How well you choose the winners of the Pro football games each week determines the score you receive relative to par on each corresponding golf hole. Each player signs in and individually makes their picks each week, prior to a pre-determined deadline. Players may change their picks at any time prior to that deadline, but once the deadline has passed, all picks (or lack thereof) are locked and cannot be modified.
2. How to make your selections. You may enter your selections online after logging in. Simply click on the "View/Change My Picks" link near the top center of the Home page. There, you will see a list of games that will be played each week. Use the "Week" drop-down box to view the games for the desired week. Prior to the deadline for each week (see "Lock Time" below), click the drop-down box next to each game and click on the team you think will win each match-up. When you have made your choices for all the games that week, click the "Submit" button on the bottom of the page. You will see a confirmation message that your picks have been recorded in the system. If you do not make any picks for a given week, your score is automatically a quadruple bogey (four over par) for that hole.
3. Lock Time. Each week, the system will automatically "lock" to prevent further pick submission. In general, games will be "locked" approximately one (1) hour prior to their scheduled kick-off. The schedules of all football games are subject to change due to conditions out of our control. However, we will make every effort to allow sufficient time for you to get your picks in on time. Entrant's picks must be submitted, received and recorded by PigSkinGolf's computer by the lock-time clearly indicated for each game in order to be counted. Selections submitted after the deadline, as determined by the web site itself, will not be accepted, and your score will automatically reflect as if you made an inaccurate pick for that game. PigSkinGolf's computers are the official time keeping device.
4. Scoring. The following table illustrates how the scoring works:
| | Number of Correct Choices |
| | Ace | Eagle | Birdie | Par | Bogey | D-Bogey | T-Bogey | Q-Bogey |
| For 16-game weeks | 16 | 15 | 14 - 12 | 11 - 10 | 9 - 8 | 7 - 6 | 5 - 4 | 3 - 0 |
| For 15-game weeks | 15 | 14 | 13 - 11 | 10 - 9 | 8 - 7 | 6 - 5 | 4 - 3 | 2 - 0 |
| For 14-game weeks | 14 | 13 | 12 - 10 | 9 - 7 | 6 - 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 - 0 |
| For 13-game weeks | 13 | 12 | 11 - 9 | 8 - 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 - 0 |
| For the playoffs | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 - 0 |
Remember: If you do not make any picks for a given week, the hole will be scored as if you had 0 correct picks and you will receive a quadruple bogey (four over par). |
5. Tie Scores. In the event of tie scores when it comes to prize money to be awarded, PigSkinGolf will use a "matching cards" system to determine the winners for tiered awards at each Tee level. Among players with tie scores when prizes are to be awarded, the tie breaking process is as follows: First, ties will be broken comparing the player's average score on all previously played par five holes. If a tie still exists, then ties will be broken by the number of correct picks on all Monday Night games to date. If a tie still exits, then ties will be broken comparing the players score on the lowest number handicapped hole and continue until a winner in determined. If no individual winner is determined using this method, then all players with the same score after applying this tie breaking process will be determined the winner of the prize money for that level.
6. Prizes. More than $2,500 in cash prizes is available!
