GAME: $1 Skins
GAME DEFINITION:
A skins game pits players in a type of match play in which each hole has
a set value (usually in money or points). The player who wins the hole is
said to win the "skin," and whatever that skin is worth. Skins games are
often more dramatic than standard match play because holes are not
halved. When players tie on a given hole, the value of that hole is carried
over and added to the value of the following hole. The more ties, the
greater the value of the skin and the bigger the eventual payoff. For
example, a friendly skins game might be played for $1 per hole. If three
holes in a row are played without a winner, then the fourth hole is worth
$4 (per player) or $1 for its own value, plus a dollar for each hole that
carries over).
Exmaple Game:
Number of Players: 5 (Steve, Bob, Ken, Gary and John)
Imaginary Buy-in: ASSUME each player pays $18 ($1 per hole).
This would make each "skin" worth $5.
How it Works:
Assume:
Steve won 3 Skins
Bob won 5 Skins
Ken won 1 Skin
Gary won 7 Skins
John won 2 Skins
Point Value: X 1.00
Entering this into the WOW Application, will quickly determines Who
owes Who. The Winners simply gets paid by the Losers....
WOW (Who owes Who)?
Ken owes Gary $13.00
John owes Gary $4.00
John owes Bob $4.00
Steve owes Bob $3.00
Win/Loss
Gary WON $17.00
7 skins X $5/skin = $35 - $18 (imaginary buy-in) = $17.00
Bob WON $7.00
5 skins X $5 = $25 - $18 (imaginary buy-in) = $7.00
Steve LOST $3.00
3 X $5 = $15 - $18 (imaginary buy-in) = -$3.00
John LOST $8.00
2 X $5 = $10 - $18 (imaginary buy-in) = -$8.00
Ken LOST $13.00
1 X $5 = $5 - $18 (imaginary buy-in) = -$13.00
It's as easy as that! No "buy-in" needed, will work for any number of
players and you can easily change the value of each skin.

This would make each "skin" worth $5.
How it Works:
- After each hole is played, if a player wins a "skin" place a "dot" next
to their score on the scorecard for that hole. - If this was a "carry over" skin, place a "dot" on each previous hole
for each "carry over" skin won. - Once the round is complete, add up the number of "skins" (or
"dots") each player received during the round. - You are now ready to use the WOW Application to determine Who
owes Who?
