Balloon guy 158 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Here's how it works;We will get a list of players, divide the list by 4, and have that number of captains. Right now we have 43, so 11 teams 11 captainsWe will then auction off the rights to be the first choice captain. this will be in the form of a 15 minute time span in this thread, announced 1 day before the auction begins. We will have 8 auctions max per day, so likely this will fall into day 2, but 2 hours straight is enough imo.The highest bidder will be captain number 1, he/she will get to pick the first draft choiceThen we will auction off the spot for number 2etc.Until all captains are picked.Then we will start a new thread for drafts. The drafts thread will be where we list by handicap the players, and they can beg, bribe and bitch to be picked. Each captain will pick in order, then reverse order then forward then reverse until everyone is picked.So starts with #1, then 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9then9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1then1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9then9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. Got it?AFTER the draft, all captain have the right to trade players for money, for custom signatures etc. They will own you, and you will have no say in what they do with you. But the only rule is they must lose a player in order to get a player. We have to keep teams of 4, and only 4, unless a team of 3 is necessary at the end. If you trade for money, the money belongs to the captain of that team. If you make a profit on this deal you have my respect.Alll money collected during this auction will be pooled together to make up the prizes for this golf tournament. We can all vote how many spots we should pay, do we have a worst score prize? a longest drive prize? etc. I need someone who can collect the money to step up. I don't want to collect the money since I don't have an avenue to withdrawl it from pokerstars. So someone who doesn't mind the idea of collecting and withdrawing about $2,000 needs to step up. Must have over 100 posts.So before we start the aution, let's get any suggestions on ways to improve this etc. Remember, if you don't want to hassle this, you will get teamed with someone, just like if we hadn't done this, so even if you are not involved it's no biggie. But you will lose your charter membership status, js.So any suggestions? When should the auction be held? starting bids? increments? Should checky be banned?Vote Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Since it's a scramble the Captain doesn't have to be good right?Exactly, a single really good player can make 3 bad players look really good.In fact, in a scramble the best mix is 1 good player, 1 decent player, and 2 bad players in order to get the average handicap really high.4 good players almost never win a scramble because they have no extra strokes to lower their scores Link to post Share on other sites

Potsie P 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 When can I start begging and bitching to be picked?I've seen you golf, Lois. You definitely are right to be begging--early and often. :)FYI I think Ozi should be his own captain AND team. I think it would be a challenge to see if any other 4-some can beat him. Even a bad foursome (meaning like a 10, an 18 and two 36'ers) should be able to scramble to a +4 or +5. And I think Ozi shot +1 at the Badlands last year.You put Ozi on a team with ANY 3 others, and it's a foregone conclusion IMO--we'll all be playing for 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites

I would bet money the winning score will be around -5 or -6 if we factor in handicaps.Take 3 handicaps of 20, plus a 12 handicap. They will get 18 strokes off their final score.They shoot an 87 for the day, they still end up with a net 69. Link to post Share on other sites

Should checky be banned?VoteI think the rules of the scramble need to be decided. For example, how many tee shots are needed per player, how to convert total handicaps to a team handicap, what the mix of players can be.Exactly, a single really good player can make 3 bad players look really good.In fact, in a scramble the best mix is 1 good player, 1 decent player, and 2 bad players in order to get the average handicap really high.4 good players almost never win a scramble because they have no extra strokes to lower their scoresNot so fast my cigar smoking friend.My experience when playing in scrambles for $, the team handicap doesn't play as big a part as much as how good the players are. I will take 4 13 handicap players versus a team of a 4, 10 and 2 18 handicap players. It really comes down to having 1-2 people who can hit it long and straight and a couple of good putters.I've seen you golf, Lois.

I will take you up on this offer for $1000. I get to pick Ozi's 3 partners and I get to pick my 3. I win every time as long as his partners have to tee off at least 3x's each and they play the men's tees. Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What does this teeing off thing mean. Never scrambled before.It means you have to use x amount of tee shots from everybody. So you basically don't end up using your best players shots every hole. Link to post Share on other sites
