So with this new site, we have to submit a lineup every week.
Oh man, we are going to have a LOT of teams not submitting lineups throughout the season.
It’s set that once you submit your lineup once, it carries to future weeks. The first week is the one we need to watch for.

Week 7 Recap
The Cobra seasons always feel so long at the outset then zip by before you can blink once they get going. Week 7 has drawn to a conclusion and we're really nearing the finish line with two of our competitors separating themselves but others still within striking distance if they get the right bounces.
Scores came in on both ends of the spectrum this week as the teams of #cuetheduckboats #teamcobraone both went low low low low. @B.Boston and @Lacassem went the lowest and got this week's win. By virtue of being on the winning team, Lacassem wins his second prize of the summer so he's reached his max. Congrats!
Heading into the final week of the season, @B.Boston finally overtook @daviddvm and we've got a real nail-biter going into the final week!

Week 8 - Caddie, Do You Know De Way?
Competitors: This week, our competitors are charged with playing a new course (or seldom played) and using Arccos Caddie to navigate the course. They may disagree with Caddie for a 1/3 stroke penalty at any time but otherwise need to follow the recommendations. Standing on each tee, you get strategy choices...they'll pick one and follow the club recommendations from there. Lowest CCNet wins!
Fans: Everyone loves a good prop bet. Attached to this thread, you'll find a poll with prop bets available for your betting consumption. These will cover many areas of this last week's challenge. We also need your help voting on your favorite follow throughout the challenge for the social aspect of the overall competition. Good luck!
(If you don't see the poll, hold your horses and check back later)

Guys I had a general fantasy football question.
Since we aren't having a football team at my high school this year, I wanted to find an easy way to keep the kids engaged and thought fantasy might be good. However, running a league with dozens of kids means having a regular draft where you own players is impossible.
I was hoping to do a daily fantasy style league, but where the results carry over weekly. So every week you can make a new team and it would carry on throughout the season. Anybody have any idea a website that runs something like that? There is lots of daily fantasy and lots of dynasty fantasy, but not a combo of both. Thanks for the help!
Paging @yungkory
Kory has talked about doing this for his friends league. Maybe he can expand on how they make it work.
Also, MFL offers this as an option but they only offer paid leagues. I think it’s like $50 for a more modest sized league. We talked about doing DFL for this league but opted for the traditional style.

In case you missed it, I sent out an invite to everyone in the league to join a Slack workspace for the league. This could help speed up communication throughout the season for trades, smack talk, General troubleshooting, etc. I also think it could really come in handy on draft day to keep everyone on the same page.
It’s 100% optional but could prove to be very useful if you join. Check your emails for an invite from me.

As was mentioned earlier it may be nice to set a lineup of 6 or so before rather then have all 8 eligible so there is a bit more management involved. Always sucks leaving a guy who gets a ton of points on the bench, but that's fantasy!
That was actually our preferred choice too, but Fantrax didn't have that as an option. We went in planning for start 5, take the best 4, rosters of 10. But when we found out best ball assumed everyone was a starter, we dropped the team size down to the 8 we have now. I don't expect them to fix this one for next year so it's an element we'll have to live with unless we go back to traditional starters/bench.

Bucky Draft: 9/8 @9PM EST
Shooter Draft: 9/7 @8PM EST
Berg Draft: 9/6 @ 8PM EST
Stud Draft: 9/3 @ 7PM EST
We used the draft availability poll entries to break up the leagues best we could. No one was scheduled to draft on a date they said they were unavailable (unless they didn't respond at all) but some people are being pushed to be flexible in the time of start. If you know me, you know there was a spreadsheet involved so we did our due diligence.

OK EVERYONE
Time to announce our Group Halloween Costume Winner....
This challenge was a fun one to get to know the full compliment of Cobra ambassadors. You guys definitely embraced the halloween aspect of this challenge....some of those pictures were downright scary. @Peaksy68's rendition of Lexi improving her lie may not be our winner, but, my God, was it memorable. Yeesh.
First, let's do some honorable mentions:
@Nunfa0 and his rendition of the whole crew was particularly fun and well-edited:
@MaxEntropy got some bonus points from Cobra for actually having the man himself in the picture. Very nice dedication (even though it was from last year):
@jddaigneault and his commitment to the entire outfit and a story to accompany. Can't wear that orange without someone on the course calling you out for looking like Rickie:
But, the winner was actually unanimous. With big LOLs and an extremely accurate depiction, our winner of the Puma shoes this week is going to be........ @knightsofnii with his uber-accurate rendition of Duffnering:
Congrats on your win this week. Send me a PM with your shoe size and shipping address to get them sent along!

We’ve tweaked the format every year so far, but this absolutely feels right for Fantasy Golf Playoffs. Plenty of drama remains throughout and many teams get a chance. I also feel like the regular season, in theory, is close but the way is displayed is atrocious. Will have to see what can be done for next year.

Week 6 Recap
Competitors: Our heroes went flag hunting this and almost delivered on the perfect moment of a Hole in One during the challenge. @Headhammer went out with a BANG leaving his within 2 inches and, literally, inching out @B.Boston for this week's win. With another consistent week, @daviddvm holds on to the the top spot (by virtue of tiebreaker) with the duck boats hot on his heels. Unfortunately we're losing Hammer to injury from here on out but he can certainly be proud of his recent surge up the leaderboard.
Fans: Halloween costumes were RIGHT. You guys are scary. We're going to shoot these off to Cobra for input as well so stay tuned for a formal announcement in a day or two. If you want to see them all in one place, check out this Google Slideshow: HERE

Week 7 - IRL Alt Shot
Competitors: This week will take teamwork. Our competitors have been tasked with finding an in-real-life person to act as their alt shot partner. We gave them a few different options to accomplish this in a COVID-friendly environment but the task is simple: shoot the lowest CCNet score in an alt shot format. The CCNet formula got a little bump in complexity as we'll now be needing the partner's HC in addition to the Slope and Rating of the tees played.
Fans: Sorry, this will be a limited field event. The partner of the winning competitor will bring home this week's Puma Swag. We would also like to hear from the IRL teammate with their thoughts of the Cobra setup, recognizing the fact that they may not be a perfect fit size-wise.

My story will be my “Mark throughout the round”
Of course when I first get to the course my Rickie comes out. Ready to go with so many hopes and dreams for a round. This is my “ready to party Mark”:
Now I may feel like a big hitter but of course I occasionally don’t quite get past the red Or “ladies” tees. But I’ll be damned if I don’t still look good like Lexi. This is my “sexy Mark”:
Now of course after a dribble off the tee I have to redeem myself and put a spanking on one. Starting to feel my inner Bryson. This is my “big swinging D Mark”:
While I may 3 putt 94.4% of the time on 18 I’m still good for 5.6% on the singles! That’s when I get to fist pumping like my boy big daddy duff. This is my “cool as a cucumber Mark”:
Lastly by the end of the round I feel like Norman. I may not be hoisting trophies but I still feel like a winner! This is my “champion Mark”:
Hope y’all enjoyed my rendition of the cobra folks and didn’t scar you to badly. Good luck contestants this week!
(edit-will add the other 2 when done just wanted to get it in before polls close)
Rounding up the photos and I just have to say: these crop jobs are an abomination

When I saw the closest to the pin on par 3's challenge the first thing that popped into my mind was playing a par 3 course. So I immediately booked a room at a golf resort up north with a beautiful executive course. My plan was to play 72 holes over 2 days, 36 each day, with the ultimate goal of a hole in one. Hey, I had 72 chances why not?
Well, best made plans. When I got to the resort on day one, after a 2.5 hour drive, it was pouring rain. Not to be deterred I paid for 36 holes and went to the 1st tee only to find there were no pull/push carts, they had been removed due to COVID. Now I haven't walked a golf course in 25+ years and I certainly haven't carried a bag in more than that time, but the challenge must go on. So I put on my rain gear, adjusted the backpack straps on my Cobra stand bag and went to the first tee.
The course, while beautiful, was soaking wet and getting sloppier with on and off downpours. I am happy to report that the rain hood on the Cobra stand bag works very well at keeping your clubs dry.
The course is laid out well with lots of water and strategically placed bunkers and my first 8-holes were fairly unremarkable, hit some of the postage stamp greens, missed some others. Then I got to #9, the longest hole on the course listed at 174-yards by Arccos, all carry over a pond with trouble everywhere.
When I tell you I flushed my Cobra SpeedZone 5-iron, I mean I didn't even feel it come off the face and the result was the closest of the round.
From the 9th tee back to the 1st tee has to be at least a 1/2 mile walk, partially through a hiking trail with a fork in the road and of course I took the wrong side of the fork and had to hike back to the 1st tee. Panting like a dog, wet from rain and sweat I decided to shed the rain gear and just play the next 27 and deal with the rain & sweat
I didn't record anything closer than 9" in round 2, since that was the mark to beat. I grabbed a quick lunch and came back for another 18 holes. When I got back from lunch the course had moved the pins and the tee boxes. The 4th hole, which played at 159 yards in the morning was 10 yards closer in the afternoon. Normally at 148-yards I'd take an 8 iron, but with the rain and trouble all around the green I hit 7-iron.
I thought it actually went in, but just came up a few revolutions short. That one is gonna be hard to beat gentlemen!!
By now it was raining non-stop and greens were just getting saturated as evidenced by this shot from a gap wedge from 87-yards out.
After my 3rd nine in the rain, soaking wet, sore back and elbow I packed it in hoping for better weather the next day. I woke up the next morning to even heavier rain with no sign it was gonna let up. With my back & elbow killing me I decided to pack it in and drive home knowing I had a shot that was probably gonna get me near the top this week.
I think I’m digging the commitment and perseverance more than the darts on display here. Very nice!

Not sure I have ever been this nervous for Fantasy golf/football in my life. I really hope I can have a few sneak into a good spot which can propel my results forward. Hard part is I still can't watch golf with no TV for at least another week or two.
If you’re like me, your players aren’t showing up on the broadcast anyway so there’s not much to see lol.

Fantrax is pretty bad at displaying useful information once you get outside of their default league setup so I’ll put together a homespun bracket for us. For now, you can see that you advanced if you have a matchup this week.

I went through and submitted lineups for everyone that hasn’t done it yet (dozen or so teams) so we don’t accidentally end up with any zeroes this first week as folks learn how to use the system. Subsequent weeks copy automatically. Your players don’t lock until their respective games start so you’re free to make changes at will until then.
