2019 Official MGS Fantasy Golf League

Ok so we did this after the first event last year and I wanted to do it again since we've got lots of fresh eyes.

Scoring check. Does the points scoring balance seem appropriate? Is there anything that seems unfair or skewed or is something missing from the stats? Keep in mind, advanced stats like sandies and the like aren't yet available but I could check with Fantrax to see if it can be added. 

Changing the stats could affect outcomes from the first week like it did last year, but that's better than riding out a whole season in unbalance. Let's run this like a typical committee. If someone comes up with a suggestion that gets seconded, I'll put it to a league vote. Majority rules from there.

At first glance it seems pretty solid. Looks like we’ll have to wait until Monday to see the final stats though.

The only gripe I have is the missed cut losing points. We are already not getting points for 2 days.

Do we penalize players that sit a football game in the second half?

Not a bad point. Nullify points for making a cut/missing it. It'll work itself out. Unless the player completes embarrasses himself on the weekend and then it's his own fault anyway.

Which I definitely had happen last year. Sometimes missing a cut and taking the hit is better than leaving a guy for the weekend. You can take a massive hit if he stinks it up for two (normally) days.

Scoring looks good to me so far; granted I'm still getting adjusted to this format so take that with a grain of salt.

Right especially when the cut is -3 then you lose points for missing the cut. Make the cut at -3 and go +10 on the weekend is unavoidable. But if you have a good two days miss the cut why have points taken? Usually 140ish guys trying to make the weekend, that’s only a 50% chance of making it.

I see your point here. Happened to me several times, biggest one I remember is the us open.

Like US30 said just nullify both making and missing the cut points and it won’t have any change in overall score.

First time playing this year but I don't understand negative points....seems like the lowest you should go is zero...so many variables in play; injury, sickness, family issues, weather, etc. that punitive points is a bit harsh.

...this is just from the outside looking in.  I probably have little to no chance either way so I'll go with whatever the consensus is.

Options I see

1. Get rid of missed/made cut points.

2. Keep made cut points but don’t take points for missed cut.
I vote for option 2, there should be some reward for picking players that make the cut. I disagree with going negative for missed cuts.

Someone had a funny tweet about how the US Open is at Pebble this year and somehow Phil is going to find a way to not win it.

Personally I hope he does so we can all stop talking about it.

Unless I'm overlooking someone for the fourth, we could almost get a year of career Grand Slams:

  • Rory wins the Masters
  • Phil at the US Open
  • Spieth at the PGA

Is anyone a British Open away from the career Slam?

Nobody that's still playing. Floyd and Nelson both never completed the slam because of the Open. 

Spieth, Rory and Phil are the only 3 still playing that are a major short that I can think of. 

 

 

 

 

Also, I played the top scoring team and 3rd best scoring team in the league this week. Fun 😒

I'm in agreement.  You should definitely get credit for players making the cut, and missing out on two days of potential scoring for a missed cut is penalty enough.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

To everyone bemoaning the lost points from missing the cut, you realize it's only -1 right? It would have no substantive effect on scores from change it from 0 to -1, so we might, but it seems a bit of an overreaction from my perspective. I mean, I guess it's a three point swing from the start of the week, but no score has been within the margin again for it to be a difference.

I totally agree! My only suggestion was to take away more points for a MC but based on the previous comments, I'd think that would get outvoted.

Shanks, you realize you're talking to a dude who scored negative points more often than anyone else last season right? Also, for reference last year the scoring for a made and missed cut was +10 for a make, -5 for a miss, birdies were +10 and bogey were -5. This year, cuts made are +2, missed are -1... ironically enough birdies are +2, bogeys are -1. Hell, this year we're giving you points for pars, a half point, but points none the less.

So, there's no difference from last year to this year, just lowering of the scores so they don't do crazy and are actually less penal. Just trying to be open about it.

I agree with Alan...I think that punishing a guy who played well, just not well enough, to make the cut is unfair.  I realize it is a minor deduction but in my opinion the important thing is the principle involved.  At at the end of the day those minor deductions could make a major difference.

Not necessarily. Say you have 4 dudes that miss the cut at -3, they are all at -2. Your opponent has one guy playing that made the cut but goes +12 on the weekend... those 4 points could help more than you’d think.

Just playing devil's advocate here but wouldn't that mean it is only 1 point since the opponent lost 3 from his guys that didn't make it.

 

I guess I only see the negative points mattering in a tie breaker situation at the end of the year.

I was still under the impression that they were -5. So that's my fault. I do think that no deduction at all is slightly more fair. Just my 2 cents.

The weighting from last year to this year is the same, I just divided all values by 5 to adjust for inflation. What used to be 5 points is now 1. What used to be 10 is 2. And so on....The only new thing is par. It seems to be a little heavy so that's why Berg and I put that one to a vote. 

 

I said it once but I'll say it again to be sure, any scoring changes we decide on will retroactively affect week 1 also. That's why we're just taking this one crack at a rebalance now that everyone has seen it in action. .

What happens now if you start a guy who isn't playing in the tournament? Is their score -1 since he will miss the cut?
