Yes, yes, it's time! Time for the 2022 MGS Fantasy Golf League. Tiger is back, Fantasy Golf is back. This thread will be the home for all discussions for this year's madness. 

I've attached a poll to this thread. You MUST enter a response to the poll to be considered for this season.  If you're new, send the commissioners a PM with your email address so we can get an invite your way.

Here's some quick hits on the format:

• Platform: Fantrax
• Entry Fee: Free
• Commissioners: Yours Truly, @Berg Ryman@Undershooter
• Draft: Tentatively January 19, 8pm EST
• Scoring: Points for birdies, pars; lose points for bogeys...and so on
• Rosters: Start 5 players each week; 5 bench*
• H2H Matchups: All play each week within division..divisions and draft order will be auto-generated*
• Scheduling: First event is the Farmers, playoffs run during the PGA Playoffs
• Playoffs: Top 20 in each division make it*
  • Aggregate point totals starting with week 1 of the playoffs
  • Bonus points awarded based on regular season finish
  • Cuts after each round
• Prize: MGS Golden Ticket

We'll take some polls at a later date for other miscellaneous items. Worth playing for? Let's get it going!

*Note: These items are new/changed from last year. In addition, we've bumped up the win bonus from 5 to 10 points

Separately, now is the time to propose changes that we can take up for league vote. Propose them now, or forever hold your peace.

Count me in! 

[Josh Ross]

Can't wait! Are you holding a vote on best ball vs sit/start? I know best ball won the vote last year but quite a few wanted it changed. I'm good with either!

[GolfSpy BOS]

LETS GOOOOOOO

First round pick.  Rickie Flower!

We're making a unilateral change on this. The idea of Best Ball is more popular but it just doesn't show up properly in live scoring so no one ever has a clue where they stand without using workarounds. Because it degraded the quality of the league, we're going back to Start/Sit. 5 starters, 5 bench.

I'm in!!!  

[Lacassem]

In there like swim wear

[xOldBenKenobiX]

Of course I am back

[Berg Ryman]

Few thoughts for the new at this. First, hit that Follow button at the top of the thread to keep abreast of all potential updates and changes. Second, we do have a Slack for Fantasy Sports if you aren't already a member, we may start a golf specific channel shortly once signups are good so stay tuned on that front. Lastly, @blackngold_blood is our defending champion, so don't trade with him

[GolfSpy_APH]

Of course I'm in. Need to grab my title back from Bng. I like the changes and the 5 and 5 I think... will certainly make for a interesting season!

[ZJBogey2]

Sit/Start....YESSS!!! 

[GolfSpy_APH]

I know this will be more known once we have numbers, but how many copies are we thinking of each player given the additional 2 spots for the roster AND will we be drafting a full team or 6 much like last year and fill out the rest with FAAB/waivers?

Copies will depend on total players. If we have a similar total, it’ll stay at 5 most likely. 

Draft will be 8 rounds + waivers for the final 2 spots. 

FAAB budget will remain at $100

Last post for a bit, and just to run a bit of history on y'all, when the league was originally run through FanTrax it was a start/sit league, however with people complaining about missing out if their team missed the cut, we went to Best Ball last year, then last year people were concerned that we weren't rewarding skill and actually making it less fair if your player won. This is what he hope is a compromise, expanded the rosters to a 5/5 instead of the old 4/4 from last year or the 4/6 from days gone by while also upping the win bonus.

Is Charlie Woods available?  In like Flint.

Draft time is too early for PST folks. I won’t be home from work by 4:00. Can we make it later?

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

I’m out. Good luck all

[juspoole]

Count me in.  Hoping I learned some things last year, but likely will finish about the same.   Actually scratch that I'm going to finish top 5 this year.   Need to add any false confidence that I can.

[Bohnson]

In, should be fun 

[Nunfa0]

Ooooo I'm in!! At least I understand this league and can compete!!
