Idea for a game

Would we be able to start a fantasy-type game here?

Example (open to suggestion)...

Each GR member would pick players from a roster that they would keep for the entire season. For each tourney, the GR member would accumulate points equivalent to the sum of the FedEx Cup points that their "team" earned for that week. If a GR member had PGA players that took the week off, they would receive no points for those players.

Maybe pick 6 players whose WGR would add up to no less than 100... Like...

Tiger Woods 1
Steve Stricker 4
Rory Sabbatini 10
Aaron Baddeley 18
Hunter Mahan 35
Camilo Villegas 58

Adds up to 126, so that team would be valid.

I would offer to do much/most/all of the numerical work if this idea were deemed good.

I don't usually get involved in these things, but if you explain how it works - in great detail that I can understand - to me. I'm in as long as I don't have to do any math.

Re: Idea for a game

Okay. I'll start logging the GR member's rosters now. Roster changes must be made by 11:59 PM on the Wednesday (January 3rd) before the first day of the Mercedes-Benz Championship. After that, rosters are frozen for the season. The contest will run until the conclusion of the Tour Championship presented by Coca-Cola (September 16th).

I'll do my best to update the standings and post them here.

Re: Idea for a game

Seems to me this game would be more interesting if we drop Tiger off the list! Agree?

Re: Idea for a game

Well, everybody is entitled to 6 players. Omitting Tiger would yield outcries and even suggestions of Tiger-hating or racism. Most people will take him, so the 5 other team members will be the key to success in this game.

Re: Idea for a game

Everyone will take Tiger being only one point so essentially it will be a push. Thanks for taking this on Chris.

Agree. Like someone said Tiger will be a push. BTW, where do you get the WGR so I can put my 6 players in?

Re: Idea for a game

If you want to play, send me a team of 6 PGA Tour players whose aggregate WGR equals or exceeds 100. Since the official WGR may vary slightly from now until January 3rd, as long as your roster's sum is 100+ at the time you submit it here, you're good to go.

So far, the contestants are...

PM me your e-mail address if you'd like a copy of the spreadsheet I will use to track scoring. This goes for any point in the season as well.
