FAQs

How do I register/ login?

To play the game you first need to download our App called ‘Golf PredicTour’ from either the Apple store (iphone) or Google Play (android phone). Download is free of charge.
 

Once you have downloaded our App, complete the simple registration process and log in. This will take you directly to the ‘Prediction’ icon, where you can select a Tour.
 

As part of the registration process, you will be invited to choose a ‘screen name’. Please be mindful of other users of the App and do not choose an offensive name.
 

How do I play the game?

Select a golf tournament from our hosted tours that you would like to play. Once you have chosen a tournament, select a player.
 

Predict their round of golf by filling in the scorecard for Day 1 and Day 2 of your selected tournament. You will be able to predict Days 3 and 4 after the cut at the end of Day 2.
 

Key game information is as follows:

  • Select only 1 player per day and predict their round.

  • All 18 holes must be predicted using the up and down arrows. Holes can also be left as ‘par’.

  • Use your 3 bonus balls on any hole you wish.

  • Only 1 bonus ball may be used on a hole.
     

You can make unlimited changes to your prediction up until 00:00 BST/GMT on the first day of each tournament in order to make sure you have the best possible chance of scoring more points.
 

How do I select a tournament and player?

Once on the ‘Select Tour’ screen, click the tour logo you wish to follow and see the tournaments we are hosting.
 

Click on your chosen tournament and it will open the field of players competing.
 

Select the player whose score you would like to predict by clicking on their name. Scroll down to see the whole field.
 

Key game information is as follows:

  • You can only select one player per day.

  • You can choose a different player for each day of the tournament OR predict the same player for all four days.
     

How do I predict my player’s scorecard?

  • Use the up and down arrows to select the number of shots for each hole, or leave it as ‘par’.

  • Select 3 holes for your 3 bonus balls across the 18 holes

  • Click on the blue ‘Submit your Prediction’ icon at the bottom of screen
     

You have now predicted Day 1 and can repeat the above process for Day 2.
 

Day 3 and Day 4 become available after the tournament’s CUT has taken place – after Day 2 has been completed by all golf players.

What happens if my player doesn’t make the Cut?

You will be able to select a new player for Day 3 and Day 4 to continue playing the Tournament.
 

What happens if play is suspended?

In this circumstance, we are, unfortunately, at the mercy of the Tour. As and when play resumes we will continue to play. However, please be aware that if any day is not complete there may be a shorter window for you to predict the next round.  
 

What if my player withdraws from the tournament?

You will receive an automatic notification (ensure you have turned them on in ‘Settings’) advising you that your selected player has withdrawn. You will then be able to choose another player and predict their scorecard.

If your player withdraws during a round – due to injury or illness for example – the points you have earned will count up to the hole the player withdraws on. Any holes not completed, will NOT be included towards your points tally for that day.

What happens if I miss a day of entering my prediction?

If you miss a day you will not gain or lose any points from your overall score.
 

How does the scoring work?

Points are awarded to users based on the correct prediction of a hole. The amount of direct points earned, as well as the additional bonus points obtained, is based on the difficulty/rarity of predicting the score for the golf player.
 

The table below shows the points and bonuses that can be obtained on the correct prediction of these specific results:

How do I earn bonus points?

There are four ways of obtaining bonus points:
 

Each user will be given three bonus balls to place on any three of the 18 holes on the scorecard.
 

Depending on whether the user predicted a Par, Birdie, Eagle, Albatross, Bogey or Double Bogey, they will be awarded additional points as defined in the table above.
 

The fourth way to earn bonus points, is for a user to correctly predict the overall total score for their player’s round. Three bonus points will be awarded in this case.
 

In summary:

  • Three bonus balls can be placed on any three of the 18 holes

  • Only one bonus ball can be used on any one hole

  • 1 additional bonus point is awarded for Par, 2 for a Birdie and 3 for all other results

  • 3 additional bonus points can be earned by correctly predicting the total score for the round
