In coordination with our PGA Tour threads that will be coming out this year we are going to run a pick'em series once again. 

However we are running it slightly different to last year and will hopefully get more full time engagement on these!

We are triple confirming the platform we will use, however believe we have one set up. 

The Pick'em league site we are looking at using is free, however only up to 15 people. So we are going to make several divisions with the same settings. Depending on how many we get involved will depend on the divisions. 

When will it start?
We are looking at a kickoff for Pebble Beach in a few weeks time to allow us to get everything settled sorted and organized. 

How does it work?
Each week go in set your lineup of 5 golfers who are playing in the field. The standings works by money earned totals. 
The Catch?
We are finalizing this, however you will only be able to select golfers limited times. No running back the same 5 guys week over week. However we will make it a generous amount (thinking between 8-10) and this way you have a bit more flexibility, but also a bit more strategy as well. 

The Prize?
This is still tbd on what we can get, last year we were able to provide the winner with a testing opportunity. While we cannot guarantee that we will have something for the year long winner. This will be for the Series total (best of all the divisions), maybe if we are lucky we can get something for the division champs as well. 

How do you sign up?
Well we are going to get interest first, so if you are interested post in this thread and let us know that you want to join. When we have everything finalized we will get everyone split into divisions and then send you a PM for your league invite. 

Cost:
Nothing - just if you are joining please try to make an effort to update your picks weekly. It normally takes about 40 seconds to do. 

As for the normal fantasy league, that is still TBD however we should have more info on that in the coming week or so. So stay tuned!

 

I would like to join the pick'em contest.  appears to be fun and may involve prizes which makes it better.

[Mikr]

Sounds fun to me. I’m in!

[Mixtape Master]

IN

[lacou19]

Definitely interested! Especially since I didn't do any hockey pool this year, I've got withdrawals symptoms...

[Dragon3]

Count me in! If it's similar to other platforms/sports (i.e. PGA Tour, Chirp).

[GolfSpy_APH]

Looks like we will have enough for close to 5 divisions! Great to see. I will be sending out invite links next week and will start working on divisions etc this weekend.

We will keep signups open right to the very end so if you know of anyone who wants to join or are reading this post in a week don't worry it is still open to get in. Just post in this thread letting us know that you are interested. 

Final details will be worked out over the coming week as well. 

[billdcatt40]

Well this Canucklehead would LOVE to do this

[DannyDips]

I’d be in as well!

Building the excitement!  Can't wait for the click link to get into the pool and just the idea of that watery connotation is compelling.  Just thinking as there are going to be multiple divisions if the mods could please make sure that should he jump into the pool if @Yellow Ball could be put into a different one from mine please because I have no doubt he will have the bottom score and yes I know what I did there.

Tough crowd!

It's not my fault I'm on the bottom.  Just stating the facts!

It also would be unfair for me to enter contests like this as I would always win. I have the uncanny ability to screw up anyone's round I choose. 

[dlygrisse]

I’d be I interested.

Do you know what the site is yet? Would like to download an app if I don’t have it and get familiar. Took me some time to get used to Fantrax 

[fozcycle]

I am interested

We are using a site called runyourpool.com 

It is super simple to use. I will try and get divisions out today. Then your Division Manager will create your division and send out the invites. 

[cciciora13]

Definitely interested in this.
