Before the first ball is struck, the eight contenders decide the rankings — and the rules that will shape the draw. Two decisions. One ballot. One unforgettable reveal.
Every player has an equal say in the official seedings and the partnership system. Both decisions are submitted together as one confidential ballot.
Rank the seven other competitors from strongest to weakest. You cannot rank yourself.
Your rankings contribute to the final seedings, from Seed 1 through to Seed 8. Each player casts one ballot.
Vote for the rule that determines which one of the seven other players you will not partner during the six matches.
The winning system will be applied to the official seedings to produce the tournament draw.
Each contender will partner six different players across six nine-hole matches. One potential partnership will not occur. The players will vote on which approach to use.
Adjacent seeds do not partner. This keeps players with similar rankings from forming a team together.
The remaining 24 partnerships are spread across the six matches.
Opposite seeds do not partner. Higher-ranked players have more opportunities to partner with other higher-ranked players.
The remaining 24 partnerships are spread across the six matches.
Each player gets one vote for Option A or Option B. The option receiving more votes wins. If the vote finishes 4–4, the Commissioner's vote acts as the tiebreaker, as announced before voting opens.
Rank all seven other competitors. Your own name is excluded from your rankings.
Each of the eight contenders may submit one completed ballot only.
Choose your own identity when voting. Voting under another player's name is not permitted.
Every opponent must receive a different ranking. No skipped positions or duplicate ranks.
Your ballot includes your seven player rankings and one vote for the partnership system.
Individual ballots and provisional standings remain private until the official reveal.
All ballots must be submitted before voting closes. Late ballots will not be accepted.
