That's why I didn't make the penalty for not making it through group stage too severe...a +20 isn't terrible

Not having started anybody may have been the best play this week.  Didn't use up any big names for starts, and lots of us miss both guys.  Maybe next year for the match play instead of penalize for not making it out of group, we just reward a won match?  Maybe -3 for every match won?  Just a thought we can go over for next year.

Always am looking for ideas to make the match play a more even scoring event...nobody has both selected golfers still alive

I think giving points for how many matches a guy wins would actually work.  If they don't win any, it's 0 points.  But if they advance, they just keep accumulating points.  With only 25% of the field advancing in this format, it's easy to pick guys who end up missing the cut, and the penalty is brutal.  

Or maybe I should just check my panties at the door, and man-up and make better selections next year.

ONLY players with ANY live players

AJLightning - Noren
LeRinkRat - Noren

surprisingly NO one had Thomas, Watson OR Kisner selected this weekend. "Dirty Dustin" Johnson KILLED half the board this week

I'm a big fan of Noren...and of AJLightning, and LeRinkRat.  If Noren wins, I'm happy for all of them.  Get em Noren.

Ah NUTS. Noren BONED a birdie putt to WIN 1 up over Kisner THEN hit one of the WORST approach pits I have EVER seen the extra hole to GIVE the match AWAY. plays Thomas for 3rd

btw, "Dirty Dustin" was NOT the WORST "low odds" selection this week. THAT honor goes to the "Rahn-a-lama Ding Dong" with SIX players selecting him along with Rafael Cabrera Bello three and Pat Perez three

Winners bonus will be a -12

1st Place Pick -    -42   (-15 x 2 = -30...-12 bonus)

2nd Place Pick -    -20   (-10 x 2)

3rd Place Pick -  -10   (-5 x 2)

4th Place Pick -  -6   (-3 x 2)

5th-8th place Pick -   -2    (-1 x 2)

9th-16th place Pick -   E

17th-64th place (Does not make it out of group play) -   +10   (+5 x 2)

 

I have to agree with Andy. CMJohnson1 a +10 for NOT making it to the Round of 16 is just TOO punitive. 48 of 64 NOT making the CUT is 75% as opposed to a normal stroke play were about 40% to 50% are CUT
