***EdEx - FedEx Playoff Challenge***

[bostonlager 2,665]

I was under the impression each tournament is its own entity and winner take all for each. 

 

St Jude winner $70

Next week winner $105

Championship winner - $175

Ed - can you please clarify the above for us?

 

Thanks in advance.

Correct on the scoring.

1st $250
2nd $150

If by chance no one qualifies with 2 players in the tour championship, highest scoring wins from previous tournament. if only 1 person has 2 qualify, they win it all.

 

Only BLm and Ed have paid. BLm has also paid for BMW

EdJr pitching in an extra $50.  Nice!  That was good of you, the least you could do.  Thanks!

We need to clarify now - are we using the players actual score in the tour championship or the dumb made up scores they use going in?

I strongly vote for the actual scores and not the pole position scores they use.

That's a good point.  The actual scores don't matter though. It's all luck anyway.

What's the final verdict here, actual scores or pole position scores for the final week?

The scoreboard a the end of the day Sunday would include the goofy starting scores.

i thought it was drafting 10 golfers for the entirety of the playoffs with the winner or winners coming at the end. but i guess this breakdown also works?

all these different threads are confusing the fock out of me.

Scheffler has a 1000 point head start compared to everyone else and their nearest competitor.  I guess that's why Ed is paying an extra $50 to draft #1.

Going with actual scores would be better and I have the google sheet planned out in my head. Will be easy to keep score.

The only difference is that's not how they play. some guys coast, while other guys try to chase the lead. Using their actual scores is moot when that;s not the scoreboard.  and this isnt bevause I had 1st pick, been saying this all along. you guys are acting like how they start the tour championship is how it will finish

yeah, for sure. But we do our scoring based on how many under par the golfers are.   Lager had asked somewhere else if we were using the starting scores these guys get assigned at the beginning of the tour championship or just what they shoot during play of that event.   I didn't think that ever was answered but i Guess we are going with their total score including the -10, -8 etc starting stuff?

Yes. it is easiest.  We have no clue how the tour championship will start

You have to figure that into your drafting.  For example, Rahm who just got drafted is 800 points behind Sam Burns.  That's two 6th place finishes plus whatever Sam comes in at to catch him.

I like it because it's pure math.  I can do that.  It's the normal strategy of "don't draft Cam Smith this week because his driver is wild" that you guys have an advantage on me.

ALL LUCK  Schefflnuts has been playing like dogpoo lately. he blew his wad and stopped caring

[edjr 6,742]

2000 points for a win this week and next week.

Almost everyone in top 125 has a chance

[Horseman 2,683]

@WhiteWonder  you're up by the way.  Once you get the scoring figured out.  

We got 10 rounds to go!

For sure.  And if you think Rahm is set to finish top 5 both weeks you'll get his two scores from those weeks added in too.   Just something to consider when drafting.

I picked.  I understand what Fuhrer wants to do for the scoring. There was chatter in one of the other dozen threads between Lager and him that made it sound like the pole position scores were not being used but I said I was in either way.   I think right now there is also confusion around the payouts  (after each event versus just at the end), reference Lagers post at the top of this page.   Hopefully you guys get that squared away.   Sounds like Lager has a spreadsheet for the scoring so 

you can take my entry fee for this out of my spedex winnings, since i'm also paid up for the BMW

[bostonlager 2,665]

@KSB2424 ont the clcok

 

As Horse noted - 10 rounds - we need to be on top of the @ button to make sure we get it done by Thurday

Id like to pay for winners of each round, but 350 isn't enough?

100 for winner of Barry Wyndham

100 for winner of BEE EM DOUBLEU

150 for winner of Tour Championship

 

Or

250 
100

Tour Champ only?

[WhiteWonder 2,860]

my 2 cents

We are drafting 10 golfers one time. I was under the impression we were doing a cumulative thing. where you get your best 3 scores from the St Jude, plus your best 3 scores from the BMW, plus your best 2 scores from the Tour Championship to determine a winner ( or 1st 2nd / 1st 2nd 3rd) at the end.

 

I'd nix paying out a winner for each event... the payout for the BMW would either be potentially repetitive to the St Jude winner, or done as a standalone? and we already have the regular edex event going on for that.

Agree.  That's what I thought too.

Finau and Xander

Still no clue what’s happening 

[bostonlager 2,665]

@WhiteWonder

[Horseman 2,683]

You could do an all of the above if you wanted to.

$50 - Week 1 best 3 scores

$50 - Week 2 best 3 scores (repetitive of regular EdEx)

$50 - Week 3 best 2 scores

$100 - Whoever has the Tournament Champ

$100 - Best Cumulative Score Total (3+3+2) 

 

Invariably someone would win multiple times.
