I feel like this was not my intention when I set this up.

For some reason I am not feeling like it was intended to be a running score. Was supposed to be just the tour championship. Hence all the question over the scores they start the tour championship with.

Thought we were giving as prize for the team that won the 125, the team that won the 70 and the team that won the Tour Champ

Obviously if you won one of the 1st 2, you would have an advantage. I never thought everyone would have 3 guys make the 30

i was confused the entire time but didn't want to dive too much into it and be called a whiner .  however one thing I was always fairly clear about, based on the conversations between you and lager was that it seemed to be a cumulative contest where we took top 3 scores from st jude, top 3 scores from bmw and top 2 scores from tour championship. So I was actually more confused when we decided to pay out winners of each individual event because it felt like it was taking away from the cumulative nature of this. I would have thought paying the top 3 cumulative would have been a better idea. Although I will admit that it's been nice having something on the line for each event as well as the whole shebang. 

 

There was only 7 of us, and 30 golfers make the TC. Logically everyone would have had roughly 4 golfers make it and that's exactly what happened. You had 5, Cloaca had 5 before Willy Z quit. Alias and Horse had 3. And it was always stated you needed 2 golfers for the TC, so really everyone was going to qualify.

I thought there was 8.

It makes no sense to keep cumulative.

As a playoff contest, That was honestly the part I never questioned. If you think about it, Cloaca won the first event by a handy margin. After that 1st event I was  10 shots back. But being cumulative, I was able to dominate the BMW with Stallings/Cantlay/Wise and close that gap to 2 shots. Normally, edex events are a little closer than these two have been. 

If it wasn't meant to be cumulative, how would you have done the payouts? We did keep asking you to make a call on the payouts. You would have paid just the winners of each 3 events? We are technically doing that, even though the emphasis is on the overall.

Was meant to be only the last event. All you guys wanted to do payouts for every event. Was not my idea, I just agreed.

Draft 10 guys. take best 3 scores for 1st 2 playoff events. for tour final, we take top 2 scores, must have 2 guys to qualify.

If it was only meant to be the last event, why would we take the best 3 scores for the first two playoff events? We could have just drafted golfers and took a nap until the tour championship.

Plus, this is where I think the concerns over which scores we were using (actual versus the goofy TC starting scores) come into play. Getting to pick Scottie = huge advantage if only the Tour Championship mattered.

Who said we were? Are you focking serious? Fedex points and making the 30 didn;t matter? How do you win with guy that doesn't make it. Pretty sure winning and finishing high mattered.  Again I was okay with paying out money for people who won the 1st 2 tournies.

Wasn't this the argument when it started?

I just went and re-read my email that I agreed to after my initial thoughts for this. Disregard everything I just said.

Yes I was serious. I never said fedex points and making the 30 didn't matter. I said if there were no payouts for those first two events, and the scores from them didn't matter for an overall winner, then there would be no reason to follow them. Just draft 10 golfers like we did and check back in before the Tour Championship to see which of your guys made it to east lake 

 

I was never totally clear on the rules and payouts but went along with whatever because I was playing with house money . But this is the way I took it. I think at least Lager did as well, which is why he created that spreadsheet.

Cant we subtract the starting scores and still do cumulative?

No way. Ed had to calculate and see where he stood before retracting his statement that it wasnt supposedly to be cumulative

I hope Scottie wins this tournament by 20 strokes and when the ratings come out we see 7 people watched the final round on Sunday. That may be enough to do away with retarded staggered start.

Me too.  I got a decent chunk on him at -115. 
 

I bowed to DK and I sent the needed credentials to continue with my account.

correct. 6th post of the thread stated top 3 from st jewd, top 3 from bmw and top 2 from TC, only needing to have 2 golfers make it to the TC to qualify.  So this event is just your best 2 scores and those will be the ones counting toward to playoff total.

All good.  Seems weird but I had no idea what was happening the whole time.
