How to win the Grand Prix cash?
There are 4 tournaments in the Seneca Hill Grand Prix series, and a player can play in any number of them.
A player’s total score will be the sum of their 3 best scores. Players who play in fewer than three tournaments will still have the sum of their scores counted towards the consideration of the prizes, so for example, a player who scores 4 in 2 tournaments (4+4=8) will still finish ahead of a player that scores 2 in 3 tournaments (2+2+2=6). For players who change age groups, their score will be computed separately for each age group, and then the highest of the 2 will be their total score.
Prize fund
$5 of each entry will contribute to the Grand Prix.
Distribution of GP cash
1st 50%
2nd 30%
3rd 20%
Based on the number of participants in that section/combined section.
Players tied with the same score will share the prize money.
Grand Prix cash will be calculated after the 4th tournament and to be picked up at Seneca Hill Sunday tournaments by December 12, 2015.
