For those of you who are new or may not remember all the way back to February when we started the contest....
The playoffs are the top 16 guys from the regular season.
At the beginning of the playoffs everyone is seeded #1 thru #16 based on their regular season finish.
The #1 seed starts over with an EVEN score for the playoffs...and each subsequent seed gets a +2 from the previous seed (#2 =+2, #3 = +4, #4 = +6, etc.) until the #16 seed starts with a +30.
NEW to this year was the winning pick bonus...where for every tournament where you selected the winner, you would receive a -1 on your playoff score to start off with. For instance, Wander Bread has 2 winning picks this year, so instead of EVEN, he starts at -2. Bluefin is one of the 4 guys who have 3 winning picks, so instead of +30, he starts at +27. (Only myself, QMICH, Celtics10, and Jarrett75 have yet to pick a winner )

The absolute most important thing to remember is that when the playoffs begin (with the FedEx Cup playoffs) you will not post your selections in the weekly thread.
You will send a PM to me before the golfers tee off on Thursday...if we are not yet friends on here, please do so by that time. I'm pretty sure I have all of you on here, but please double check...I really don't want to have to go through all that crap at the last minute.
ONE of the TWO golfers you pick will be a double points selection...which you must identify in your PM to me.
ALL of the golfers you selected during the regular season will be reset...you can use ANYBODY during the playoffs...but cannot duplicate a pick during the playoffs (no taking Jason Day every damn week)

Another important thing to remember is that I will need a volunteer or two to receive my selection and my opponents selection if I happen to hold on and make the playoffs. I want this to be fair obviously, and I wouldn't give myself a head start by knowing who my playoff matchup picked.
Once the playoff tournament has started, I will post all selections in the weekly thread.
If there is a duplicate pick...for example if during the Barclays Wander Bread picks Jordan Speith and Bluefin picks Jordan Speith...I will PM the lower seed allowing them to change the pick. The higher seed gets the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons. If you do not check your messages before the tournament starts and you are the lower seed and have the same pick as the higher seed...and did not PM me to change it....tough shlt.
