For Sheeites and Giggles, anyone interested in a British Open Fantasy Contest?

[MartinBlank]

If you guys want, we can run it like the Wimbledon contests---right here in one thread.

I can group the players into 4 tiers-----you select one player from each tier, points awarded to place of finish---winner take all.

Anyone? Let's say 20 points to enter? Winner take em' all.

Post in here if you are interested. If we get 10 folks interested, I'll create the tiers later on today, post them in here, and you guys can just post your selections in replies.

[SBR Chris]

I'll play

[MartinBlank]

Come on Chris....roll this out.

Let's get 9 more--and we can have a rooting interest in the British. It won't mean much, but it will be fun.

Come you guys----get in on this.

[Robber]

Yes I'll do it

Sending

[MartinBlank]

I'm going to do it no matter what.

Even if it is just the 3 of us, is that okay with you guys?

[yisman]

I'll do it also.

[MartinBlank]

Okay, we have interest.

Here are the rules and scoring.

There are 6 tiers of players. Select 1 player from each tier. That will be your team of 6 golfers.

On average, roughly 70 players will make the cut.

After the cut, I will create a scoring sheet----number 1-70 (Assuming 70 is the # of players who make the cut).....

The champion will recieve 70 points
Runner-up will receive 69 points
3rd place finisher will receive 68...
Etc......

The cumulative places for each of your golfers will be added up.

Bonus Points:

If you select the Champion--- +15 points
If all 6 of your players make the cut..... 15 points
If 5 of your 6 golfers make the cut....12
If 4 of your 6 make the cut-----9
3 of 6 make the cut----6
2 of 6 make the cut----3
1 of 6 make the cut----1

If any of your players lead or are tied for the lead after the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds------7 points
If any of your player make an eagle----4 points

TIEBREAKERS:

Obviously there will be multiple ties for multiple spots----if players 5-6-7, are all tied for 5th---they will receive 5th place points.

If there are 2 or more winners tied for total score, the entry with the lowest round in the Open will win.

Of note. There is one player who may be scratched at this time---Matteo Manassero. His results are voided, I took him out of the selection group just to avoid any mistakes.

Now, the last part.

To make it easier for me to enter into a spreadsheet-----can you please enter your selections as follows:

1---Player x
2---Player xx
3---Player xxx
4---Player xxxx
5---Player xxxxx
6---Player xxxxxx

That is all you have to do. Thanks for playing guys.

I will pay the winner Sunday.
