I understand the fed ex points but give me a 5 point run down on scoring / rules please

The season will be broken into 4 segments (around 10 tournaments per segment), in each segment you can only choose any golfer 3 times.

You pick 6 golfers, only 4 count towards your score. The other two are on the bench and can be subbed in at any point (usually you bring them in if one of your starting golfers misses the cut). If you pick a player on the bench and do not sub them in at any point in the tournament, this doesn't count as one of your 3 usages for that golfer.

It's pretty straightforward, you'll pick it up quickly. I hadn't watched any golf in years and still did fairly well.

I'm in a golf of tipping comps for pga, so the players and schedule are very familiar

The rules of the comp - not so much - YET

Cheers and it looks like fun

Thanks for joining up, main thing to remember is pick your 6 guys before the tournament starts, or you'll be locked out and forfeit your score that week, and check your lineup after round 2 to see who did or didn't make the cut. When you're swapping players around, just drag em into the spot.

 

[Ironhawk]

Players are not yet available to select, but they have released the schedule. 7 events in the first segment, which are qualifying tournaments (i.e. mostly lesser known golfers will be in these), this segment finishes in November before the main season kicks off at the start of January.

Is there a "theory or strategy " you boys run with when picking your emergencies?

I just pick 6 players I hope will do OK, then leave the two who inevitably end up as the best picks of the six on the bench for the first two rounds.

I'll join, tend to lose interest when no prizes (Aussies not eligible for any on PGA Tour site) but I do the analysis every week so might as well play this comp!

Homa is a lock this week, so watch him somehow let everyone down

Happy to have you Athomas Yeah it's only for bragging rights really, good thing is it doesn't take up too much time, just gotta get your picks in before the tournament starts and then check to see who made the cut.
Good luck and hope it's a fun season for you.

I try and do a bit of research if I have time and check past results from the last 3 years and see if there's any patterns of consistency there, (guys who have done well/ made the cut). Once you end up with 3 or less players after round 2, you're losing ground so always try to get your best chances starting, rather than too much speculation.
Also if you have a particular player in mind who has played well historically at a particular event, then you might want to check your segments and plan which 3 tournaments you want them in, so they can be in the ones you want, and you haven't exhausted their 3 uses.

Then I move them on field and the 2 I moved off outscore them for the last 2 rounds

Just confirming, last year's league just carries over?

Tips are in.

Although was somewhat confused by the players with no win odds. Is the field not finalised or something?

Yes Frosty, same as last year's league but with a few fresh faces joining, not sure about the win odds?
The field is finalised.
Players picked percentage is there.
This period from now until January isn't actually the PGA season yet, it's called the fall, like a qualifying time to see which players will get onto the tour starting in Jan. It's part of the Fantasy season but not the actual PGA Tour season, now that it's going back to commencing in Hawaii in January.

always the way!

Lucas Herbert anyone?

 

[Ironhawk]

Lucas Herbert anyone?

Considered him when looking for a 6th pick, but he would have started on the bench for me anyway.
