*The Real U.S. Open Fantasy Pool $120 Freeroll*

[Hockey Guy]

Rules clarification: What if there is a three-way tie for first? Does $100 get split three ways and then the next best scorer gets $20? OR, do the three leaders split $120 (the entire first and second place prizes) three ways? (same question could be asked about a two-way tie for first, actually)

Fair question:

The prize pool is $120. If there is a 2-way tie & since there are only 2 places paid then each participant gets $60. If there is a 3-way tie then each participant will get $40 etc. There are no tie breakers.

If, by chance, there is an outright winner for the $100 & there is more than a 2-way tie for 2nd I will pledge a minimum of $10 to all the participants involved in the tie.

Hopefully this clarifies it.

The picks as I inputted them are in my last post. You have to the end of the first round to dispute them, no holding back and freerolling the error!

This is Hockeyguy's competition, I am just the help. I included popcorn's picks but if he is ineligible then I will remove them next post. I tried to PM HG the source spreadsheet but Druff has that feature disabled or I'm too dumb to figure it out.

Anyone that wants it, PM me an email address and I will send it. I have TheTemplars so I will send it to him as a backup.

There may be 2 Ogilvy's playing this week. Just want to clarify mine is Geoff. Thank you.

I almost clarified with you earlier but since Joe spells his name Ogilvie I put you down for Geoff.

shortbus & Jasep's man Nick Watney just went from +3 to even with an albatross on a par 5.

SloppyJoe should give Lehman and Couples a call and ask why they aren't playing. At least everybody else picked players in the tournament.

No idea what any of that shit means

It means your man got a 2 on a par 5. It's better than a regular hole in one.

I'll make a bet for almost any amount that this will not be the case.

LOL! Let me dream for at least 10 minutes before bursting my bubble next time... Mmmmkay?

[rickastley]

Westwood, McIlroy, Couples, Lehman, Tiger

One time, I never watch golf.

None. I think it looks a bit stronger than it actually is because of the angle. I have moved to a fairly strong grip though, which has has helped immensely with the club face angle at impact. I'm actually striking the ball now the best I ever have.

I said I never watch any golf, but didn't Fred Couples have a decent showing in this year's Masters? I could be way off..

Standings after Day 1

[NaturalBornHustler]

I've been in discussions with Drexel to sponsor this years US Open Pool. These discussions have been ongoing for the past 6 days & somehow there must have been a breakdown in communication. With his radio & WSOP commitments he must have forgotten to post this so I have taken it upon myself to do so since it is getting so late & time is an issue.
Drexel can confirm everything said here is 100% accurate.

Fantasy US Open Freeroll Contest
Same as the Master’s Pool with a few tweeks.
Rules:


3) If one of your picks or more does not make the cut, whatever he finished after 2 rounds will be added to the
score, i.e. if Dustin Johnson is +10 after day 2, you will have 10 points automatically added.

This is a slight issue that probably won't matter in the end, but with a tourney where a lot of the guys who make the cut will have higher scores over the weekend, to "lock in" a missed cut player score could be an advantage. Obv you should be penalized ( fairly substantially IMO) for a guy missing the cut.

Again this probably isn't going to matter for top score just thought I would throw it out there.

I am pretty high so I could be just mixed up and not thinking clearly if I am off base.

This possibility did cross my mind & was the reason I upped the DNF & DQ'd scores from +7 in the Master's pool to +18 in this one.

You are absolutely correct in saying you might be better off for your guy missing the cut or withdraw when he's +18 with 3 hole to play on Friday but I think the top 2 will actually have nobody miss the cut. I think it also gives hope if you only have one guy miss the cut & there is carnage on the weekend. A missed cut this weekend isn't the end of the world. You still have a chance & it will be great to follow just for the lulz.
