Welcome to Fantasy Golf... in the year 2020!

So, you've heard the siren's call and decided that this year is going to be the year you're going to take the forum by storm and earn that lovely MGS Golden Ticket.

Then panic strikes. You've never played fantasy golf before, what are you doing? Well, consider me a guide to hopefully help you.

Game Style

So right now we are voting between the old style of game, and this new best ball style. Here's the difference between the two. Our current/old style is very similar  to other fantasy sports. You start 4 players from a roster of 10, with the remainder of them being on your bench. You set your lineup before the first shot on Thursday and ride it out, no substitution.

Best Ball is a different animal. Everyone starts every week and there is no bench. The game takes your top 4 or 5 scores and that's that. No bench, just starters.

Roster Construction 

So, the age old question, how do you value players. Do you load up on guys who are going to ball out at majors and big events but might not play alot, or do you value guys who play alot and are consistent but not spectacular. Do you want Tiger for 15 events or CH3 for 27? To be honest, it's a wash, you're probably want to mix things up a touch.

The Draft

Yes, there's going to be a draft. Yes, it's gonna be a 60 team draft. It starts with whoever's got to pick #1...

Oh 🙂

and runs to number 60. Then it snakes back from 60 to 1 and then again. Now, we're running tests to see how the multiple player thing is gonna work, and we'll update when we know. There's also going to be a draft prep post as well, but I'm going to say this here and now.

IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE AT THE DRAFT, PRERANK YOUR DRAFT BOARD

The Season

So, how does the season run. Well, we're aiming to start with the Farmer's and run until the playoff start. As mentioned earlier, we're doing only PGA events, save the Match-Play. No European Events, No Korn Ferry, just those events. Now, this means we're playing an opposite field event for the Match Play and taking a bye week with the Zurich team event. 

Again, this calls back to roster construction.  There may be weeks where you don't have 4 or 5 guys in the event. It's your call whether or not to add players from the event at the expense of some of your other players or go with less knowing that you just need to make the playoffs.

The Playoffs

So, we're structuring the playoffs like this I do believe. The top 30 teams on record will make the playoffs. After the first Fed Ex event we cut to the top 20, going into the tour championship, we cut to the top 10, after the tour championship, we'll have a winner.

So all you have to do is get there and then hopefully you have alot of guys in the Fed Ex. 

Other Questions

So, I know this is an intro post to the league, but maybe didn't ask your question, or maybe I got you thinking of something else. If so, post here in the thread and we'll try to get you an answer. Also, if you haven't already, go vote on Fantrax in the league polls to have your voice heard.

👍 Very helpful Berg

Yeah, I am 52 Doesn't look like I will get Tiger...

 

As a complete fantasy sports virgin I have zero expectations other than a bit of fun. So it is probably best I do not get Tiger. Someone who knows that they are doing is probably a bit better off.

That makes at least two of us.  I have set-up my draft list and switching it around based on a morphing algorithm loosely based on logic 🙂.  For instance, on the PGA Tour website player photos, how many buttons on their polo shirt are latched, head turned left, right, or straight into the camera... and a few other key details I need to keep close to the vest 😆.

Just for the draft availability. The rest close tonight but the poll results that are leading are implemented in the league setup. Will change that out if needed.

Farmers starts the 23rd, which is the first event after our draft. Need to give time for waivers to run and folks to set rosters. It’s a long season so no need to rush. 
 

PS. For those new to the league, waivers run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week.....players dropped during the Tuesday churn go on waivers to give everyone a fair shot.

So if we set a Queued List for the Draft, it will cycle through that Queued List and once that runs out, it will go to how your Pre-ranked Players List goes?

Queued list in the draft room? No, that won’t work. 

Pre rankings in the pre rankings tab? Yes that will work.

Good thing I checked my email junk box today and found the draft notice, work has been well work.. I’m a bit confused about the draft order so we draft 60 in a row then snake back rather than multiple smaller leagues? Going to be going deep into the talent pool..
