tees off.
- All rosters will LOCK at 6am CT on Thursday April 10, 2014, and will remain LOCKED thru the final hole of the PGA Championship tentatively scheduled to be played on Sunday August 11. This means that the same 14 golfers will be locked in and representing your team at each of the 4 Major Championships.
- The winning entry will be the team with the highest amount of STANIMA Fantasy Points at the conclusion of the PGA Championship on August 10, 2014. All scores will be final and official on Thursday August 14, 2014 at 2pm Central Time.
- STANIMA Points will be accumulated using the following scoring system: $1 earned = 1 Point
Example: Player “X” who finished 1st Place at The Masters in 2013
won $1,440,000, thus accumulating $1,440,000 STANIMA Points.
Player “Y” who finished 2nd Place at The Masters in 2013 won $864,000,
thus accumulating $864,000 STANIMA Points.
Player “Z” who missed the cut at The Masters in 2013 did not win any
prize money ($0), thus accumulating 0 (ZERO) STANIMA Points.
MASTERS ONLY CONTEST
- For an additional entry fee of $20, contestants will the be permitted
to appoint one of their selected rosters as prize eligible for the
Masters Only Contest. Contestants will be required to submit by email

Only Contest prior to the Masters tournament teeing off for competition.
- The roster that accumilates the most points after completion of THE MASTERS will win a separate prize from the STANIMA Golf Majors Contest.
- All appointed rosters for the Masters Only Contest will continue to be part of the main STANIMA Golf Majors Contest, and eligible for all of those prizes at the conclusion of the PGA Championship on August 10, 2014. Contestants may not purchase a team that will compete in just the Masters Only Contest. The Masters Only Contest serves as an "add on" option for teams that have already been purchased for the STANIMA Golf Majors Contest.
Special Notes
- It may NOT be the case that every golfer will play in ALL 4 of Golf’s Major Championships. Each Major has its own unique set of qualification criteria. It is recommended to check that that the golfers you select have a strong chance to play and earn STANIMA Points for your team in ALL 4 Majors.
- Each of Golf’s Major tournaments play to the different strengths of a player. Usually, The Open Championship favors links style play, The Masters puts a premium on putting and short games, and The U.S. Open favors players who are straight and accurate off the tee.
- The Masters is always played at Augusta National in Georgia, but the other 3 Majors rotate the courses where the Championship is played. Having a basic knowledge of the course may help you in determining which golfers to select for your STANIMA Fantasy Team. The 2014 host venues for the 4 Majors are:
o The Masters – Augusta National, Augusta, GA, USA.
o U.S. Open – Pinehurst No.2, Pinehurst, NC, USA.
o Open Championship (British Open) – Royal Liverpool, Hoylake, Wirral,
England.
o PGA Championship – Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, KY, USA.
