Nino's Fantasy Golf League
'01
|
Welcome to Nino's Fantasy Golf League. This is our 5th year of existence. We have grown from 2 people in 1997, to 9 people in 1999...and we are expecting over 30 for the 2001 season.
Prior to the start of the 2001 PGA season, you will choose a total of 40 PGA players to make up your team. There are 30 flights consisting of 3-5 PGA players per flight. You are to choose one player from each of the 30 flights. You also get 10 bonus players. Of the bonus players you draft, 6 of them come from the 30 flights, while 4 come from a list of just bonus players.
For flights 1-10, you will be allowed 1 bonus player.
For flights 11-20, you will be allowed 2 bonus players.
For flights 21-30, you will be allowed 3 bonus players.
The team you draft is the team you keep throughout the whole season. There are no trades, nor dumping of injured, or fallen off the wagon players.
The cost of this league is $30.00. Both your money, and your draft list must be submitted to me by Friday, December 15 2000.
Each week, players earn fantasy points for finishing in the top 10 of each official PGA tournament. Some tournaments are worth more. Below is a list of how much each type of tournament is worth.

If, for example, 3 players tie for 2nd place, all 3 players will receive the value of an uncontested 2nd place finish. That is to say, if Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Byron Nelson tie for 2nd, they each will receive 100 points. (Assuming it was just a regular tournament.)

The Ryder Cup & The President's Cup: These 2 tournaments are special. They are tournaments of not individual achievement, but of team play. Each tournament is every other year. This year is The Ryder Cup. Since this is a team event, there are special rules for receiving points. You will receive +50 points for every player you have on the winning President's Cup team. By the same token, you will get +25 points for every player you have on the losing team.
For each round of either The Ryder Cup or The President's Cup that your fantasy players are in, they can receive or lose points, depending on how they finished that day.
Winning a round is +100 points per fantasy player.
Tying a round is +25 points per fantasy player.
Losing a round is -50 points per fantasy player.

Multiple Tournaments This Week |
Depending on how many people sign up for this league, we will not know exactly how much money 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will receive. Last year, 1st place received $300.00, a gold and diamond Folex watch, and a trophy. 2nd place received $150.00 and no trophy. 3rd place received $75.00 and no trophy. All of the Fantasy Golf League's dues went into the cash prizes, as well as the purchase of the Folex and trophy. The winner's trophy, better known as "The Vito Cup", will be passed around, year to year, with each year's winner's name engraved on it. That is to say, it's our version of the "Stanley Cup".
There has been a rule change for the 2001 season. Last year, all 22 owners in this fantasy golf league were grouped together. Only the top 3 finalists received cash prizes. This year we are going to divide all of the owners into 3 even leagues before the season begins. The winners of each league will split the cash prizes, while the overall winner will receive a much heftier stipend, a gold and diamond Folex, and the infamous "The Vito Cup"!!!
If the league has over 30 members this season, the person who comes in last place will automatically receive a free membership for the following season. I like to call this "The Degenerate Clause".
There are 150 players to draft from. The draft list is in the order of last year's top 150 money winners. From the top 150 money winners list, the top 120 money winners are placed into 30 flights. The other 30 money winners are bonus players that you can choose from.
