How does SKINS work?

- You will each play 10 games

- You pay $10 to play SKINS

- If you and your partner acquire the highest score in any of the 10 rounds of games you win $. 

- The amount that you win is dependent upon how many people choose to play SKINS. 

- If you and your partner acquire the highest score more than once you can win more than once.

Example: 

200 Players decide to play SKINS

$10 to play

$2,000 paid in

Minus $1,000 donation

$1,000 to be paid out to players

Divided by 10 games 

$100 given out to the SKINS player(s) with the highest score of each of the 10 games. 

How is the money paid out?

- If you are participating in the SKINS game but your partner is not and you have the highest point value for that round, you would receive the total dollar value. (Based on the example, you would receive $100.)

- If you and your partner are participating in the SKINS game and you have the highest point value for that round, you would split the dollar value. (Based on the example, you and your partner would each receive $50.) 

- If you and your partner are not participating in the SKINS game and you have the highest point value for that round, you don't receive anything. 

You can't win if you don't play!
