Keeping score could be as simple as adding up each player's winnings in the playoff events that they play. Those with the biggest totals (along with the winners) get into the winner-takes-$1M final event.<BR/><BR/>I think that promotion to "Premier League" thing works better for team sports, myself.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-7241478797738948542008-06-11T07:36:00.000-04:002008-06-11T07:36:00.000-04:00I like your conclusions.

Though I doubt they would leave the British Open out of the eight-event mix, I completely agree that Evian would be the better choice.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure these eight could be configured as a "playoff series". Most likely the qualifiers for this series would have to be tied in with the previous season's results. It shapes up as a kind of "Premier League" (if you are familiar with British soccer) where players get promoted or relegated from the elite events depending on some performance criteria. I don't know how that would get resolved with the current qualifying setups of the US Open, Kraft Nabisco, etc.<BR/><BR/>If they could get all of these ducks in a row, I'm pretty sure I would like it.Hound Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551723761253381230noreply@blogger.com
