2005 ESPN Fantasy Golf League

[Mr_Slice]

I'm on the verge of dropping out of the league because of ESPN. This is absolutely ridiculous.

In a tournament as important to fans and the players, and one that is widely considered the fifth major, ESPN just ended the scoring after the 2nd round and called it a day. Rather than try and figure out a way to manipulate their programs to accomodate the rain delays, they just gave up and have made our rosters ready for selection of the next tourney's foursome.

This week was double points, too.

I'm so pissed.

Aaron, ESPN always moves on to the next tournament on Monday. They're still tabulating your score(s) for rounds 3 and 4.

Chill out.

[Mr_Slice]

Are you sure? They've already put up a final score for the tournament, though. I've never seen them do that before and then go and change it later.

They've done that before. The system automatically moves on so people can select their players for the Bellsouth. Results are still being tallied.

Player's Championship was double points?! HOLY CRAP am I off to a bad start! hahaha.

[iacas]

So, supposedly, I finished up with 80 points. But I had 80 points late Sunday, so I'm not sure if the points have been updated with rounds three and four... It'd be kinda weird to finish in exactly the same spot after four rounds as after two.

[Mr_Slice]

I dunno. My third round score was -2 and my fourth round score was +1. I wouldn't be surprised about anything I ended up with.

Can you still get to those scores online somewhere?

[iacas]

Spoke too soon. I see. But currently my fourth round is showing 0s for everyone. My first three rounds were -10, -10, -5. And when I view my individual thing, I got -5 in the fourth round as well. That had to have gotten me higher than the 40 (doubled to 80) I was at before, I'd think. In fact, it says that's 49.8%, so I should have an even 100 points. I think. 14 shots (-44 to -30) behind first place, and we had a few of those: Cody and Rafi.

How's everybody doing way, way back there ???
I thought my picks were terrible, now I feel like I'm having a bullseye painted on my back.
You see Erik, once you mentioned the prizes .. that was the last push I needed !
Good luck in catching up

I couldn't believe that all of my players just kept staying close to the top, with the exception of Faxon. But he at least made the cut and finished around 40th. Zach Johnson had a rough finish, but he hung in there to get a T8.

I was very happy with my first serious week of fantasy golf, and don't get too comfortable up there Rafcin because I'm right there with you.

[Rafcin]

...don't get too comfortable up there Rafcin because I'm right there with you.

Excuse me, but do you really thing, that saying "I feel like I have a bullseye on my back" sounds like I'm comfortable ?!?!?

hehe, I was in the lead after 1st week of first segment too. Got killed at Buick scoring something about 40%. It's kind of like the real game of golf, the second you think you're in control - it bites your head off. Or how Forest Gump briliantly put it: ".. it's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get... " Good luck !

[Ben]

So my plan for segment 2 is go with my gut picks and stick with them. Let's see how this week works...

[Mr High Anxiety]

I'm getting tired of these rain delays.

[Mr High Anxiety]

Just went through all the teams. Looks like everybody has unique team if you take out Phil. With the new system ESPN has in place it sure makes it interesting when making your picks.

[Mr_Slice]

Well, this is not good for fantasy at all. Luke Donald didn't show, so now I'm pretty much screwed anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of players start withdrawing that are going to be in the Masters next week.

Yeah, I saw where Luke Donald didn't show up. That should take out half our fantasy league right there, as I figured alot of people would pick him. One site I was reading had him picked to win the tourney. I'm glad I didn't pick him. It would be nice if we had some golf though......on time for once. I guess they delayed it until 3:00 ET or something.

[Mr_Slice]

It's not cool when a player doesn't show that you have selected. There's just no control over that. As for Round #1, its been postponed completely now. It will be played tomorrow... supposedly.
