I have had my struggles with it at times, but it is the only site that will work for a league as big as ours and has been very accommodating in the past with any issues we have had as well as worked with us to make some site improvements so I'll forgive them if they are a little slow with updates. I mean I tried to watch some of it yesterday and felt like I had watched 4 shots and 400 commercials and felt like I was getting better updates via the website then the actual coverage. This was before the went to their main coverage schedule. 
Crazy what one day can do... still some big numbers being posted and some surprise names at the top of the leaderboard.  My new lineup is loosing a lot of matchups so far... although to be fair my traded away players haven't faired too much better.

Ok fellas. I’m bored sitting here waiting for my Hawkeyes to take on the Illini. So let’s do some trading lol

It pains me but my guy Rory seems to struggle whenever I own him in fantasy so I’m gonna field offers for him. Just to put it out there right off the bat, if your offer doesn’t include at least 1 guy inside the top 20 OWGR, there is no need to hit submit. This is Rory freaking McIlroy after all!  I have no specific interests in mind but won’t just give him away just to cure my boredom. 
 

Also looking to pick up Woodland or Fowler in a smaller deal and willing to use any of my non big 4 to make a deal work

You have me intrigued... I'll look at cooking something up that may solve the rickie and top 20 itch.

@The Hammer I sure hope that was a joke!

 

Edit: Wrong @the_hammer my bad

Full roster is tradeable, make your offers folks.

Are the leagues standings updated immediately after conclusion of each weeks event?  If so, do I need to lose more to advance up the leaderboard?  Clearly, I haven't figured out the scoring system.  

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Nice to see JT bounce back and get a W. He singlehandedly got me 2 wins this week.

Yes they're quick with the update of the standings. I'm pretty sure Lee was not even off the green yet and it had updated.

Not a strong field this week. No big guns in it for the honda

[yungkory]

Dang can't believe Rev beat me this week and I had JT Kokrak and Poston.

Also @jddaigneault nice try broski.

I'm pretty sure I won all but a couple of my matches but fell in the standings .  When I select the "points" option, it looks better... so I'll just look at that one .

Only have my four second string guys in this week but, aside from Harman who has been a stud thus far, Hughes, Griffin, and Thompson need to step it up.  Or... maybe package them up for a OWGR top 10 player?

I went 4-6 this week... not bad considering I only had 3 make the cut. But more importantly I am still only 4 games back of 1st which was what I was going into the week... although now there are more teams ahead and to make matters more difficult I am only have 2 in the field this week. Good thing its a long season although sucks that this will be the 2nd lost week for me this season (week 2 was lost due to only have 2 in the field as well)

[cnosil]

After starting the year 0-20,
My team is starting to come together and I am 31-39 now. Hopefully these guys will keep it up as I seem to have a nice mix of contenders and guys they play weekly.

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

I went 8-2 this week I think and that was with English WD. Man I got lucky the big players sucked this week

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Very pleased to have a big 10-0 week to get to .500

Rough start first few weeks, but I still have 5 going this week (none of my big 3 unfortunately) Hope to continue the winning streak!

[xOldBenKenobiX]

After a dicey 9-1, moved up a little more on the leaderboard, still a long ways to make the playoffs, but it feels really good.

[juspoole]

This week is going to be tough - only have 2 players in the field.

I'm in the same boat except I have only one player in this weeks field

For some reason waivers didn't process at 1:00 AM eastern. I still have a pending claim that says it'll process today at 1:00 AM which was almost 6 hours ago. I usually wake up to a bunch of emails of newly available golfers but nothing. First time it has done that this year that I know of.

None of mine have gone through either... not sure whats going on. 

[xOldBenKenobiX]

I made a couple counter offers and a few offers this morning, I tried messaging everyone directly, but a lot teams do not have the MGS username of the owner.

Not sure what was going on with Fantrax but I went ahead and manually processed the waivers just now.  Let us know if you continue to see any issues.

Appreciate it! Maybe their algorithms were thrown off by the time change, haha.

I know I was. Fortunately, the time change is better for golf! Abolish fall back!

I always kind of wonder why we don't just split the difference and change by 30min and be done with it.  haha

Which also always make me think of states like Tennessee and Kentucky which are split into two timezones... what happens to all those poor people who live and work across time zones?  I feel like I would get so confused.

One of my client's sites was in Central Indiana. While the site was technically in central time zone, they observed eastern time because half the town was in central and half in eastern. Scheduling meetings was maddening

Wanting to verify that we are using the Match Play tournament next week rather than the Punta Cana thing.

Thanks

Looks like it is the Corales Puntacana tournament.  I remember last year it was the same thing and ended up being a week a lot of people just punted on.  Fantrax has an issue trying to calculate all the scores for the match play since the players aren't guaranteed the same number of rounds or even holes played.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Looking through most ppl have between 2-4 taking part this week. I looked at ways to up mine from 2 but won't be dropping anyone so maybe look at making a trade work, but not holding my hopes up.
