This is open to anyone, you do not have to currently be in the edex.  I am thinking we will draft 4 or 5 players (depending on entrants) and they will get pts per round they win 1, 2, 3 etc

Just wondering, why don't you ever run these without an entry fee?  Is the money really that important over bragging rights?

I mean I probably wouldn't enter anyway since professional golf doesn't interest me, but was just curious...

Normally I would be in.  I will be in Vegas Friday-Wednesday. Not sure I will be in the right frame of mind to pick a golf bracket.  Good Luck fellas.

And, again Cruz, I will scour the kids section for shirts or something from Vegas to pay off my Players Championship sidebet.

Draft tomorrow when the bracket is released. This thing starts Wednesday


 

Quote

 

The field for next week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play tournament was made official Friday, and all but two of the best golfers in the world accepted an invitation to Austin.

The top 64 players in the world were eligible and had until Friday to RSVP. The only two who said no were Rickie Fowler, who was runner-up in last year’s Masters and is eighth in this week’s world rankings, and Adam Scott, who’s 29th.

Neither Fowler nor Scott has played in the Austin tournament since the first one in 2016. Neither made it out of pod play that year.

Two alternates filled out the field — Satoshi Kodaira of Japan and Luke List of the United States. The field has players from 17 countries. It’s a convergence of six worldwide tours.

Golfers will begin arriving in Austin this weekend.

The field will be seeded into four groups, based on Monday’s world rankings. A blind draw will create 16 pods. Three rounds of pod play will start Wednesday morning at Austin Country Club. The top 16 will play Saturday morning as they start the knockout rounds. The finals will be the next afternoon.

The bracket will be revealed Monday afternoon.

Led by Dustin Johnson, nine of the top 10 players in the world will compete. The previous three Dell Match Play champions are in the field — Jason Day, Johnson and Bubba Watson.

Ten players will make their Austin debut. The biggest name is Tiger Woods, who this time a year ago wasn’t ranked among the top 64. He’s now 13th in the world. He will be seeded 12th in Austin, one of the 16 players with a No. 1 seed.

Another Austin newcomer is Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, who won the 2016 British Open.

Justin Rose, who has skipped the previous two Austin tournaments, will be back. Rose, who won last year’s FedEx Cup, ranked second to Johnson in this week’s world rankings.

Players will compete for a purse of $10 million. The only tournament outside of the four majors that pays more than Austin is the Players Championship.

How many players each are we taking? And how do the points work? 1 per match?

 

If your player gets out of group play he should get more points for every match he wins after that IMO

draft 6

1 pt per win 1/2 for a draw - group bracket
2 pt for sweet 16 win
2 pts for great 8 win
3 pts for final 4 win
4 pts for winner and 2 pt for 3rd place

If there is a tie, split the money

 

This is our 1st time doing it with everyone in the group playing each other once.
