The split team season has proven to be popular and will return this season, along with defending Team Champions BBirdies - John Brinkman and Rob Burkley. Just like last year, Week 8 will be played as a wild card round where the 1st place team after 7 weeks gets to pick their opponent and the opponent picks the individual matchups. After that, the top remaining team picks its opponent and so on. The first place team after Week 8 gets to partner up for the second half. Everybody else goes in the hat.
Individual standings will be calculated how they always have been, using each golfer's best 14 point totals out of 16 weeks. Also back after debuting last year is The Crony Cup. Unlike the Individual standings which are based on match play performance, The Crony Cup measures each player's performance playing against the field. Each week, golfers are ranked according to their net score as follows:
1st place - 30 pts
2nd place - 24 pts
3rd place - 18 pts
4th place - 12 pts
5th place - 11 pts and so on thru 16th place, which is 0 pts. (There are no participation points in the CGA!)
As for the majors, the TEA will be returning to Urbana Country Club on June 2nd, while the CGA Match Play Championship will be making a long-awaited return to Black Diamond in August.
So that you can begin mental preparations for Week 1, you will find the 2018 Schedule, as well as the Weekly League View and scorecards for Week 1 on the Schedules tab. The 2018 season payout matrix can be found on the Reports tab.
It all adds up to what should be another great year of sportsmanship, camaraderie and of course degenerate gambling. Touch 'em all!
