The first group at THE OPEN are teeing off now

9 different golfers were picked by our participants
HOWEVER, now that the pairings have been announced, for the 18 golfers we asked you to pick from, the first one on that list, Phil Mickelson, doesn't tee off for about another hour and half...

Since I'm watching this live right now, We will continue to accept entries for at least another hour and 1/2

SO, if you thought you missed this opportunity to play in four different contests with just a single pick..

YOU HAVEN'T... SIGN UP NOW

The Open 2018: Tiger Woods with late tee time as Sandy Lyle hits first shot

https://www.bbc.com/sport/golf/44850075

Three-time champion Tiger Woods has a late start for Thursday's first round of the Open Championship at Carnoustie.

The 42-year-old world number 71, returning to the event for the first time since 2015, tees off at 15:21 BST.

England's world number three, Justin Rose, tees off at 09:58, while Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy is off at 12:53.

The first shot will be hit by 60-year-old two-time major champion Sandy Lyle, who will make his final Open appearance unless he can finish in the top 10.

Woods is in a group featuring Lyle's fellow Scot, Russell Knox, who won this month's Irish Open.

Rose goes out with defending champion Jordan Spieth of the United States.

Weather conditions are excellent at the moment... If they stay this way all day (and you never know at The Open) we could have some really low scores for the first round...

Still plenty of time to enter if you aren't in yet

MARKETING POLL/CONTEST #4

It's been a while since we have done one of these
Unfortunately, in the past, the response has been PISS POOR
So instead of the Mystery Word Format that OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK, we are trying something new that will HOPEFULLY increase the number of responses.
NOW REMEMBER, these surveys are meant to provide us with information that will allow us to make Sports Center even better. If we don't get a good cross section of responses, WE CAN'T KEEP IMPROVING on SPORTS CENTER... So come on folks, HELP US OUT. Take a few minutes of your time and just answer the questions

All we are asking for you to do is answer some Multiple Choice Questions
If you do, we will randomly select 10 of the respondents to win 50 WRZ$ each
It's that simple...

HERE ARE THE FOUR QUESTIONS:
1 - HOW MUCH OF THE CONTEST DETAIL POSTS DO YOU READ?
A = All of it
B = Just the contest details
C = Just a little for a key piece of info like the Sample Post
D = Never read it

2 - HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS?
A = I look at the Information provided, maybe do some of my own research, and make my decision
B = I copy and paste the sample post since it always represents the best odds
C = I copy and paste whatever the last poster posted
D = I copy and paste a specific poster that I know always does well
E = I pick the exact opposite of whatever Ice picks

3 - WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE RECENT SPORT FOR ENTERING CONTESTS
A = HORSE RACING
B = SOCCER
C = TENNIS
D = BASEBALL
E = AUTO RACING
F = GOLF

OPTIONAL
4 - IS THERE SOME SPORT OR UPCOMING MAJOR SPORTING EVENT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CONTEST FOR?
Please list any sport or event that comes to mind

Now first, there are NO RIGHT ANSWERS
We are just trying to understand the dynamics of the contests
And don't be embarrassed to post the truth. Many people already have said they simply cut and paste.
We expected that from the beginning
HOWEVER, PLEASE DON'T CUT AND PASTE SOMEONE ELSE'S ANSWER... IT KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH

So really, it's simple. 3 Questions we would like you to answer and one question so you can tell what sport what me missing out on

What is it?
A simple research/marketing poll with 4 questions, and only three you HAVE TO ANSWER

How do you play?
Just answer the questions

EXAMPLE POST
MARKETING POLL/CONTEST #4
# 1 - B
# 2 - B
# 3 - B
# 4 - You have them all covered

Rules:
Only 1 post per person for this specific contest
The contest will last as long as I think we are still getting response.

Reward:
We will randomly select 10 of the people that respond to receive 50 WRZ$ each

So… it really is that simple.
Thanks in advance for this “Key Marketing Data”
We appreciate your help.

And I will continue taking entries for this one until Phil Mickelson tees off... which looks like it could be over an hour before that happens

John, come to think of it, you might sometimes want to cover the World Surf League (WSL) professional surfing events. These are very popular here in Australia.
