DPWT Championship, Dubai

1. One entry. You get one entry per event, with the same eight picks on every board. Joining another group later does not mean picking again.

2. Selections. Pick eight golfers from groups A, B, C and D, exactly two from each.

3. Scoring. You win if your eight golfers have the lowest total finishing positions. Ties go to the best single golfer, then the next best through all eight; if all eight positions match, you share the place.

4. Your board. Your board ranks only the people on it. First in your group means first among your group, whatever your global position.

5. Deadline. Entries close at the event’s deadline, but you can change your picks until play starts. After that, PickM8 can work with your organiser to change them after a withdrawal.

6. Withdrawals. When the field is confirmed, and for withdrawals before the first tee, picks still playing stay wherever there is room in their new groups. You choose whether open places are filled by the highest-ranked available golfer, the golfer whose recent form is closest to your original pick, or left for you to fill before the first tee. Any manual place still open at the first tee is filled with the closest match on form. If a golfer you picked withdraws once the tournament is under way, they get the same finishing position as everyone who misses the cut.

7. Entry fee. Each group agrees its own fee, set by your organiser and paid directly to them. PickM8 never handles the money.

8. Paying up. On a board with a fee, you are hidden from the start of play on day two unless marked as paid. Your entry is not removed.
