Game Structure:
The field of 16 players will be split up into 4 foursomes using random.org. Each foursome will play a round robin which will constitute one hole. The player who wins the quickest game (fewest number of rounds) within their foursome will win the skin for that hole. If there is a tie, the points for the skin will carry over to the next hole (see example below). This will continue until all 4 foursomes play 9 holes. After 9 holes, the points leader of each foursome will continue as a new foursome and play 9 more holes. The winner of the tournament will be the player who scores the most points after all 18 holes have been played.

Skins Scoring:
- Front Nine:
- Holes 1,2,3 - 2 points
Holes 4,5,6 - 3 points
Holes 7,8,9 - 4 points
- Holes 10,11,12 - 5 points
Holes 13,14,15 - 7 points
Holes 16,17,18 - 9 points
* Points won on the Front Nine will count towards the scores in the Finals on the Back Nine.
Example Scoring:
[spoiler]Hole 1 (worth 2 points)
P1 - wins in 10, 13 and 16 rounds
P2 - loses all games
P3 - wins in 11 and 12 rounds
P4 - wins in 10 rounds
The quickest win was in 10 rounds, but done by both Players 1 and 4, therefore the 2 points from this hole carry over to Hole 2.
Hole 2 (worth 4 points: 2 for what Hole 2 was originally worth, plus the 2 carried over from Hole 1)
P1 - wins in 8 rounds
P2 - wins in 7 and 12 rounds
P3 - wins in 9 and 11 rounds
P4 - wins in 14 rounds
The quickest win was 7 rounds by Player 2 and they would win the skin and 4 points.[/spoiler]
Other Details:
When the tournament starts, I will create all the games for Hole 1. After that, every other day I will create games for the next hole. So several holes will likely be played simultaneously throughout the tournament. However, the winner of a hole will usually be known before all the games are completed due to the way one wins a skin.
All players will have 48 hours to join their games. Reserves will be used on Hole 1 only. If a player no shows one or more games for a hole, they will be ineligle to win a skin on that hole. If a player no shows on Hole 10 (first hole of the Finals), the 2nd place player from that player’s first foursome will replace the player.
If players tie on the 9th or 18th hole, thus having a carry over for the skins points, the players who tied will have a round robin using the next hole (10th hole for tie on 9th hole, 1st hole for tie on 18th hole). If only 2 players tied, the winner of the single game will win the skin. If 3 or more players tied, the winner of the skin will be the player who had the quickest win.
If there is a tie for points on the front 9, to determine who moves on to the finals, the player who won more games head to head out of the players who are tied will win the tiebreaker regardless of the number of rounds the wins took. The same tiebreaker will be used for determining an overall winner if there is a tie after the Finals are completed.
Win games quick and you'll have a chance at being the Skins Game Champion.

: The Skins Game is played where each hole is worth a certain amount, set prior to the round, and the winner, or golfer with the lowest score for that hole, takes the purse for the hole. A good game where there are 18 chances to win. Holes that are not won by a single golfer can either have the pot be carried over to the next hole or declared a push.
