    Just calc top 4 of 5 pics!

    It will keep people who picked DJ with a disadvantage without knocking them out completely.

    I have no expectation of winning, I made my picks based on a single letter, but just pointing out that "no edits at all" would certainly be a new wrinkle to the contest from past years.
    Since it's late in the game, I'm making a final decision. Edits are allowed. All fantasy sites allow edits before tee
    Time or game starts. Final lineups must be posted by 6:00am Central Thursday. Again no duplicate lineups, first come first served.

    So it's been said

      lewfather: agree with this ruling based on what other fantasy/dailys allow. zero edits after first tee off.
      
      Crowe Diddly: correct move is correct rep
      
      Daly: I like the decission
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    We can always throw out the worst score and make it a best four of five for this event. It's more fair since everyone gets to throw out a score even if they didn't pick DJ.

    Seems like a good idea but also seems like it would set up for the potential of a bunch of ties. Just edit the line up and if you aren't enough in the know by now that DJ is out and don't edit your line up by 8am that's your bad.

    EDIT: can't wait for DJ to take down the jacket btw.

    I just read what Gringo wrote. I guess great minds think alike. He's probably more racist than he gives himself credit for too.

      GringoStar: Lol. You are in a conundrum if you believe that racism = intelligence. In the US, stats show that AA are at the top, in terms of racial intolerance.

    Weird. DJ also had a freak accident in 2012:



    "In 2012, Johnson played the Cadillac Championship at Doral in March and then did not play again for 11 weeks, until the Memorial in late May. Johnson said at the time that he was not playing because he hurt his back while lifting a jet ski. However, Golf.com's source says that Johnson was actually serving a suspension for failing a drug test for cocaine. The PGA Tour had no official comment at that time and Winkle denied that Johnson had been suspended."

    I actually went full blown conspiracy for a good 3 seconds after reading that. Then I realized how completely ridiculous the idea is to have this happen during Masters week and came to my senses. You think the PGA Tour just suspended him last night? That if he was suspended he couldn't have gotten out of the tourney WAY before he went through all the pomp and circumstance of Masters week, and 24 hours before his tee time? You think any one of the 14,000 media members in attendance at the biggest golf tournament in the world would figure it out anyway, if they tried to do something like that with the brightness of a thousand suns light shining on Augusta Georgia this week?

    Re the editing.

    It's meant to be a bit of fun on a 3rd tier poker forum.

    If 90% of the field start on +17 where's the fun in that?

    Anyone who doesn't edit can have sandy lyle instead, seems fair.

    9 birds. Let's see him repeat that tomorrow. He does has a pretty decent record at Augusta if I remember correctly.

    The organizers of these contests can decide the rules, such as matters like edits.

    The only time I will get involved in overruling them is if they are making a nonsensical rule after-the-fact which is meant to specifically benefit or punish certain people.

    But I don't see that happening here.

    I can see the original posts of everything edited, btw.

    In fact, some of you may remember when ThisGuyIsWhat edited all of his past posts to basically be blank. He did this to like 200 posts.

    I was dismayed to see that vBulletin had no feature to revert them en masse, so I researched it and wrote a database query to automatically fix it. I was surprised that no one else had solved this in the 6 years since this problem was brought up: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/foru...ited-his-posts

    I didn't edit in time so I guess I'm fucked. Can't complain, it's a freeroll. Good luck to everyone who edited on time.
