MGS Forum: PGA Tour Pick'em League

[550025KV]

@GolfSpy_BNG this is my week. I've been stuck in 4th pl for too many weeks.  My big break out is coming. Thanks for setting this up. It's been a load of fun and RYP makes it easy to stay involved.  

[GolfSpy_APH]

Last week for these!

After the final week we will get one big leaderboard up and announce our champion. 

14 ish million away I'm out of it, but was definitely a lot of fun! Quite enjoyed this and we will look to re-up again for next season!

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 just saw this. I definitely want in for next season!!

[Albatrass]

Would like to congratulate all the participants for playing this season.  Daviddvm had a great win.  I did far better than I thought I would do.  I would like to thank you very much for organizing and conducting the competition and that you will do this next season.

Was a lot of fun guys, thanks for doing this. I loved the format, was simple to make picks and it did keep me interested in the play and players this year. Hope everyone else enjoyed it too. I told a lot of people about the pool and they all want to get it on it next year. 

[daviddvm]

Was a very good year...enjoyed the competition

[poprocksncoke]

This was a blast. Can't wait for next year! I did better than I expected, finished about middle of the pack in my division. Never done anything like this before, and it definitely made watching the golf all year even more fun. Thanks all for setting this up!!

We will definitely be running it back next year, maybe with a few tweaks here and there however pretty happy with how this worked out.

idk how i won this, but hell yea, my first ever fantasy golf win

[fixyurdivot]

So are we going to have both division winners and overall winner prizes?  That would be my vote... not that anyone is asking .

[StateOfMyArt]

Congrats to ThomasNoble79 for the win in our division. I've never participated in a sports pool but I tried my best to make my way up the leaderboard, but came up a bit short. Regardless it was really fun to be invested in every round - and every shot by my picks. I never had so much fun watching golf and cheering my boys on, or rubbishing their crappy play. I'm looking forward to next year already.
