How it Works
- National Individual Knockout to run from the January monthly game to the Gold Cup game in December
- Open to all Nomads in good standing
- Pools of 64 players – or as close as possible
Rewards
This swindle is funded by the total monies received from the entries, so the more entrants the bigger the prize. Pool winners receive 2400.00 each and the balance goes to the overall winner/s (nothing withheld for Nomads coffers). The breakdown for 2024 is as follows:
- 780 players @R50 = R 39,000.00
- 13 pools @ R2,400 = (R 31,200.00)
- Overall winner = R 7 800.00 (+ R2400 pool winnings = R 10 200.00)
Wager
Bet R50.00 on yourself to knock out your opponent through the cycles until you are the last man standing.
Rules
Simply play your monthly game – it is not necessary to play in the same fourball or even on the same day as your opponent, nor do you have to arrange additional games. Your differential will be calculated from your Nomads score on the SAMSON system; you can then follow your progress on any provincial website.
All results will be loaded at the end of every month or as soon as they are all received.
- Once the draw has been made there will be no changes made to it.
- The player with the highest differential in a cycle will progress.
- In the event the best scores in a cycle are equal – a count out will be done.
- If a player is unable to play a club game during a cycle the first make-up game score per month will be used, on condition the game is played within that cycle.
- The co-ordinator will pick up the make- up game from SAMSON – differential scoring rule applies.
- If both players are unavailable – count out rule applies.
- In the event that a game is postponed, the rescheduled game will count if played within the cycle.
- With the exception of Gold Cup, if a game has to be cancelled or not played within the cycle the participant will receive a 0 differential. A make-up game score will count if in cycle.
- Queries must be raised / finalised prior to the next cycle commencing.
Definitions
- Cycle – Will be either 1 or 2 months and the final at Gold Cup.
- Draw – The draw will consist of 64 players (or as close as possible) culminating in the winner of each pool playing against each other at Gold cup and will be available on provincial websites
- Differential – The difference between the average score for the day and your score i.e. if the average score for the day is 29 and your score is 31 you will record a +2 differential. if your score is 27 you will record a -2 differential.
- Count out – Should the highest scores be the same – the second scores will count.
- In the event both have played two games and the scores are still equal, the player who has played the most monthly games year to date will advance, other than in the final where prize money will be shared.
- If differentials still the same – longest standing Nomad
