Umm yeah dude, that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. You're incredible man. I really hope it didn't take too much time.
And for the rest of you dolts, you're welcome. That was some heavy fucking lifting I did for you all by asking Vegas to do all the work and shit.
Speith is going to win and I'm going to lose because he's my only golfer this week, right? I feel like this happens to me once a year.
Just as an FYI, and it's most certainly not a big deal,(and I am NOT asking for an update, this is more an FYI) but that player ranking has a mistake because it shows Matt Every scoring 3 points year to date and he won a tourney this year. It's not a big deal but I figured you would want to know.
Basically, looking at those rankings, it's clear my team SUCKS.

Right you are, looks like I missed the Arnold Palmer on the detail. I will fix it when I get back to my computer.johnmd20 said:
Rose's back 9 and Poulter's 67 have me in a good spot heading into Sunday. As long as my guys hang around, I'm looking good because VSF and cshea don't have many other points beside the 15 they get if their guy wins. Obviously Rose winning would seal it for me, but even if Spieth wins I have a chance to hang on too as long as my guys don't collapse.
No guarantees Sunday at Augusta those. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Nice win, TFP.
Like Rory, I made a nice run this week and will wait another year to complete the Grand Slam.

The first clean source table I could find doesn't update often enough. I can check and see if there are other clean sources.
On to Hilton Head.

Thanks! Hometown guy almost pulls it off, but getting into the playoff was enough to win it for me. Good for Furyk. He was nails when it came down to it.

Yup, I'm just going backwards at this point. Instead of having 4-5 guys play, but not my top guys, I had 6 guys decide to skip last week and was left with basically my worst two guys, neither of whom made the cut. I haven't looked at the field for this week yet, but I think Bubba is not playing again (what's he played, one of the last 7 tournaments, and that was the Masters, in which I only had 1 other guy playing). At least I won enough money in my Masters pool last week to guarantee myself a profit in golf pools/leagues this year.

So, this is random, but I was looking at the schedule and OWGR rankings in advance of the match play next weeek, and it occurred to me that we're going to need to come up with a new scoring format for the week.
Yeah, it's the 1 pointers that need to be figured out since the round of 32 was eliminated. Either eliminating the 1 point or giving everyone 1 point for qualifying works. Or maybe we could give a point for each match won during the round robin. So if a guy goes 3-0, he gets 3 points. Might work? That could make things a bit more interesting for the weekend?The Four Peters said:
I don't know, you get your points from winning the round robin matches by getting an automatic 3 points when qualifying for the round of 16. Seems like it would double count those points by also giving scores for the round robin play. I think offering everyone 1 point is far, would be tough for 3/4 of the field to not get any points.
Do we know if the round robin will allow for ties? So could golfers go 1-1-1 in round robin play? I assume it will, but didn't see it spelled out.

Good points. Maybe the point for each round robin win is too much. I was just thinking that this event is hard to win without having the winner, adding a few extra points early on would be a way to have more teams in the hunt over the weekend. The way it is now, you basically need to have the runner up and another guy who goes out in the semi's to have any hope of winning if you don't have the winner. I guess that's just the nature of the event though.
I'm not sure how they're handling ties. I believe the round robin tie breaker is head-to-head so that means they must play on having no ties for the individual matches in the round robin.

So this is how we've traditionally done it:
2nd round losers 1
Sweet 16 losers 3
Elite 8 losers 5
Final 4 losers 7
Runner Up 10 (12 points for extra holes)
Winner 15
So now it sounds like the group winners go into the sweet 16, which if they lose they would get 3 points in our system. I would suggest giving 2nd place in the group 1 point, but I'm sure there will be ties for second place and they won't do a tie breaker to see who gets second. I don't think we can give points for not making past the group.
I guess we could either give the extra point to the sweet 16 losers (so they'd get 4 points), or just eliminate it all together. I'm up for listening to other ideas though. Either way, yeah, the golfer who wins will likely win the week for their team on here but I think that's traditionally how its gone anyway...

All other WGC events give 1 point to any one who shows up. I don't see why we can't do the same here. I always thought the old way was light on points for the week.
I'm not sure it's fair to decide to give out points just for an appearance at this stage, though I'm not personally opposed as I'm sure none of my three will be advancing.
It's a limited field just like the Cadillac Championship and we did the same thing there.
Edit: The average total points per week is around 180. Last year Match Play was 101.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm saying making the decision to give points just for being in the field after the field is already determined is probably not fair.
I agree the timing sucks and probably not fair at this point, but we definitely missed this so need to figure out the best solution either way. My vote is just 1 point for the field (VSF makes good points, no pun intended). I will go along with whatever is decided though.
If vote for 1 point for showing up. That is at least consistent with the other WGC's. For full disclosure, I have 5 guys qualified (though Lefty is a wimp and probably won't play) so I would stand to benefit from it more than most. I'm fine either way.
"Of the 48 players who dont advance to single-elimination, those with zero wins will share last place, those with one win finish slightly higher with a little more money and FEC points, and so on."
We shouldn't give points for going 0-3. I would be okay with giving everyone who wins at least one match in the round robin a point.

I vote for whatever is easiest to tabulate. I don't think an extra point or two fundamentally matters and would err on selecting an outcome that doesn't require someone to parse through results.
Yes, I don't know if they're doing draws, but it should be 1 point for everyone who doesn't finish tied for last (according to prize money and FedEx Cup points), but does not advance. That way both comports with everyone's entering understanding that you get no points for last place, and also addresses VSF's complaint that this event previously doesn't give out enough points.

There's no parsing that needs to be done. There will be a group of players tied for last. It's a whole lot easier than identifying the top 25 or whatever we do for normal tournaments.
I vote for players winning no matches getting no points. Everyone that wins at least one gets at least a point on up.
Yeah that's fine. It will probably be consistent with last year but we may want to revisit for next year.
