How To Handle Golfers That Withdraw After Tournament Begins

It sucks if you (or someone in your pool) picked a golfer that ends up withdrawing before or after the tournament starts. This article outlines options for the pool admin to handle this scenario. 

Scoring for Withdrawn Golfers

For scoring purposes, WD golfers are handled the same way as CUT golfers, getting assigned an 80 or the highest carded round for any round they don't complete. 

How to Update WD Golfers as Pool Admin

By default, WD golfers will remain picked if they were not changed by the entrant prior to the pool entry deadline (typically the same as the first tee time). Only the pool admin can update after deadline.

If desired, the pool admin can update an entry by removing the withdrawn golfer and adding in a different golfer of their choosing for anyone who selected a WD golfer. 

This is at the discretion of the pool admin if this is fair or not.

To swap out golfers, follow these steps: 

1. Login
2. Click ADMIN button for your pool
3. Identify a golfer from the same tier as the WD golfer that you want to use as a replacement
