5th Annual FFFT Series Payout

For the series, we pay out about the top third of series participants in each division, just like for individual events: In Open, Advanced, and Intermediate divisions only. But “series participants” means every player who played in 2 or more events in that division- not just one event in a division. For example, if I play only one event in Open and the rest of the events I played Advanced, then I don’t count towards the Open Field for the series, nor should my points earned in Open count towards my standing in Advanced. But if I play 2 or more events in Open, and 2 or more events in Advanced, then I count towards the field in both Open and Advanced and am eligible for payouts in both divisions, or even all 3 divisions are possible when there are 6 or more events in the series.
So, all of those locals (and there are a lot! And we should encourage that!) who come out for one event in the series because it is a couple miles from their house add $2 each towards the series’ payout purse, but do not add to the total of the series field.
Example: 5 event series- Open Division- 40 total different participants
-6 golfers played in all 5 events= $60 towards final purse
-6 golfers played in 4 of 5 events= $48 towards final purse
-5 golfers played in 3 of 5 events= $30 towards final purse
-4 golfers played in 2 of 5 events= $16 towards final purse
-19 golfers played in only 1 event= $38 towards final purse
21 Total Series Field/Participants, $192 Total Series Purse paid out to top 7:
1) $50 2) $40 3) $30 4) $25 5) $20 6) $15 7) $12
If the Field was 40, payouts would be ridiculous splitting $192 thirteen ways!
