Nope, you don't have to be a charter member to play. I'm currently in 20th.....need to get my picks in for the next one though!

I'm confused on how this system works. What's all this salary cap stuff?

Summary

This fantasy game is for the first half of the US PGA Tour 2008 season.

Detailed Guidelines and Rules

This fantasy game is for the first half of the US PGA Tour 2008 season.

This game will have salary limits for each tournament. The salary limit for each tournament will be based upon the amount of money the leading money leader to date has earned.

For example, if the money leader as of Monday before the start of the tournament has earned $2 million, then the salary limit for that week's tournament will be $2 million.

Then along with the tournament salary limits, each player will have a salary limit based upon the amount of money they have earned to date.

For example, if a player has earned $1 million to date before a tournament starts, their salary for the tournament will be $1 million. So when a user picks that player, $1 million will put towards their picks which have a maximum of what the tournament salary is.

For the Buick Invitational:

Who DIDN'T pick Tiger and Phil in their 5 choices???

laugh.gif
karter24
how does the "discount" work?
teeituphigh
Tiger and Phil were a given! This will be the only time we will be able to pick Tiger with the salary cap laws!- presuming he leads the money title!

We are still trying to work it out but, look for something to be awarded around first Major.

FYI there are two tournaments this week!
teeituphigh
So whos going to win the Masters.......

I cant believe we only hav 150 odd people playing!
jonnyb03
So how do i earn money? Do i get the same amount of money as the players i picked earned for the tourney?
poppyhillsguy
I'm confused. Is the first segment over and the next segment begins with The Masters?

1/2 season ends after the

Stanford St. Jude Classic
US PGA Tour

which is before the US Open. The Master and 4 Majors Championship Games are now live.
teeituphigh
We need to drum up some more entries into this. Im sure many people play other fantasy leagues. Maybe a thread in EVERY topic?

Any word on prizes for the Masters and other competitions?
jonnyb03
when will the results post from this last tourney?
nateobot
I normally don't look in this forum, so never knew about this until now. Looks fun, and I will try it out. smile.gif
teeituphigh
Anyone else struggling to be able to pick their team for this week? The site doesnt seem to be working as usual......
KingGeorge
Very cool that you guys supply the prizes.

There is a delay in uploading the latest results. Once that is done, then choosing picks can resume. This is because the current week is based upon the salary cap of finished results.

I ment to say its not working like normal. Not that the sit doesnt work.....hmmm....You get my drift?

Will the segment resume at Zurich or The Masters?

I'm on such a slide that perhaps two weeks off would help the lousy picks I have been making.
Gxgolfer
It will run in parallel.

Each major will be its own separate contest and one contest for all 4 majors. So be sure to participate in all the Games!

I'm hunting you down! hunter.gif

The fat lady has yet to sing.
teeituphigh
Should make some ground up this week! Just had to change 3 of my picks cos they having a CHOP!
bjackson
^^^ Your killing be dude. I hate to say it but putting it all on Tiger last week was a huge mistake. I had it for a while, now it's you. At least I have some more time to make up for my losses so far. Hopefully New Zealand will have a huge power outage or something for a week so I can bring myself up to your level. crazy.gif
teeituphigh
HAHA! Hope we dont have a power outage! I didnt go with El Tigre last week- had Furyk straight out of the box then picked ogilvy at 15% less and he hung on!
DRGJR72
Not a bad week for me....from 7 to 3.....doubt I will stay there...but that is ok. Nice jump anyhow.

Excellent......... biggrin.gif
surfanimal
Awesome, never done a fantasy golf league before, but am in the running for a bunch of other sports, looking forward to it!
teeituphigh
I had Adam Scott and he withdrew!!! NOOOOO......damn....thought i had a winner straight off the blocks there! How is everyone else going?
sync71
I have all my picks set, I think. That'd be awesome to win something. And it gives it even that much more excitement.
bjackson
I had Adam before as well. Too bad he withdrew...and even worse I found out on Saturday night so my replacement was at minus 60% instead of 30%. Anyways I made up a little bit of ground. Not much, but I want that #1 spot back! Hopefully I'll have a good Master's week.
teeituphigh
So......Has everyone put the same team in all 3 pick comps? biggrin.gif
DRGJR72
I did not...I changed up my teams slightly on each one.

DG
teeituphigh
Hmmm......with 3 teams to rotate i think ive made a few errors and mistakes! Ive let you in the door guys!!!! sad.gif
