So I've stuck with a similar idea for The Open at Birkdale next week, and this time we’ve got a full week to get it organised.
Draft Order (based on last year's Majors rankings):
1) Bil522
2) TLO Idaho
3) Xpert DBA
4) maoling
5) baller
6) mostonmike
7) D-Train
8) rockycola
9) Sibelius Hindemith
10) Walla Walla Dawg II
11) desbcoach
12) N.E. Others
(The rankings calculator is shown on the graphic for transparency.)
Simple stuff:
Pick one player from each group, following the draft order.
- Bil picks his 5 players
- Then TLO picks his 5
- Then Xpert DBA
- And so on down the list
Everyone ends up with five unique players.
Scoring Rules
- Your best 3 scorers will count for your final total.
- You must have at least 3 players make the cut to stay in contention.
- A 6th player will be allocated at the end of the draft. This allocation happens in reverse order of the initial draft (meaning desb or WWD gets the first player from the remaining pool).
Targets & Deadlines
To keep things moving smoothly:
- Bil, TLO, Xpert DBA → please complete picks by Friday
- maoling, baller, myself→ aim for Sunday
- D-Train, rockycola, SH → aim for Tuesday
- WWDII, desbcoach → Wednesday is the final day (time-zone buffer)
If we get ahead of schedule, even better.
If you are away or missing?
- You can pre-submit your choices if you want saying "1st pick" and "2nd pick" preferences for each group if you want. That works quite well if you are next in-line.
- If we get an absentee - I might have to make decisions to keep the line moving. I will probably bump you down 1 place if you take more than a day or so to pick or allocate if you take 2 or more days. Obviously I won't need to make any calls until around Friday if Bil hasn't got his choices in,,,,
Previous Winners:
2023 Walla Walla Dawg II
2024 D-train
2025 Bil522
At the US Open, 6th pick in the draft won and 8th pick who was just allocated their squad finished 2nd
