E-Dollar awards follow the event’s published eligibility and payout conditions.
Submit before the deadline. Submitted picks are final. Miss a round and you cannot advance or win a final prize.
What if scores are still tied, or there is an odd number of players?
Round ties: exact-score picks, then a fixed random draw. Earlier points do not count. An odd player gets a bye but must submit picks. Fewer past byes gets priority.
Final ties: final points, tournament total, exact-score picks, then a fixed random draw. Up to 5 eligible finalists win. Pick speed never breaks a tie.
