***ATTENTION***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***ATTENTION***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***ATTENTION***

Update 8/17 - New board going live today.

Update 8/14 - ***Migration work continues. Estimate Go Live to new board 8/17***


Last year, in an effort to improve the capability of our forums, we switched to new software. We expected tremendous scalability and rapid customization that would significantly improve each Member's experience across multiple devices and integrate flawlessly with social media platforms.

Unfortunately, after a significant capital expense, we have decided that the length of time and the additional cost to reach our goals make this enterprise untenable.

Thus, we have made the difficult decision to transition the forums to our original software platform. We’re excited that, in the nearly two years since we began the process of our most recent switch, our original platform has been upgraded significantly, and we are confident that the reversion will not only provide the stability that we desperately needed prior to our last move but will also return to the Membership the high level of customization that made our online community so great. We have also added technical resources to the GolfWRX staff that will allow us to build custom modules and modifications that we are confident will take the forums to the next level.

We remain the world's largest online golf community, and we still hold true to our core values and mission statement as written in 2005. Bearing both of those elements in mind, being the best and offering our Members a platform that is world-class are both requirements, not options, and it is that spirit that has motivated this decision.

So, please pardon our mess over the next five days or so while we transition the forums.

A few important notes: Current content will be accessible during that time, but the forums will be READ ONLY, and you will not be able to start new threads or reply to posts. Personal Messaging is enabled but PMs sent/received from the time the board was frozen will not carry over. We know this is inconvenient, and we apologize, and we greatly appreciate GolfWRXers bearing with us through the transition.

We are very excited about starting this next chapter for GolfWRX and getting back to the high-quality Member experience we all expect as soon as possible.

    Pick 5 golfers. After the tournament, winnings are added up and the most wins. If there are ties, then the tie breakers kick in. You can change all the way up to the 3rd round but there are penalties for changing picks after each round.<br />

    Basically, if your golfer misses the cut, you'll change him, but if he ends up winning it, you'll take a hit the closer to the final round you change. After final round, it's done.<br />
    <br />
    So pay attention, and have some faith in your picks if they aren't doing well come Saturday. You change them and change it back you get penalties, and it wouldn't help as much.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    The game rules are very specific and above is the abbreviated versions.

    For those of you that do not understand how the FanGolf system works, let me try to explain it. Maybe the way I put it will make more sense.<br />
    <br />
    - Winner is selected by the person who has the most earnings in the tournament. (The total of how much the players they picked get paid).<br />
    - Before the tournament started (which is considered prior to midnight in the time zone of the tournament) you select 5 players<br />
    - After round 1 and before midnight prior to round 2 in the time zone of the tournament you can drop any, all, or none of your original 5 players and pick up new players (deduct 15% from their earnings)<br />
    - After round 2 and before midnight prior to round 3 in the time zone of the tournament you can drop any, all, or none of your original 5 players and pick up new players (deduct 35% from their earnings)<br />
    - After round 3 and before midnight prior to round 4 in the time zone of the tournament you can drop any, all, or none of your original 5 players and pick up new players (deduct 60% from their earnings)<br />
    <br />
    If there is a tie in the amount a person's players won, then the tie breakers are as follows:<br />
    <br />
    [color="#1C2837"][size="2"]1. Net Earnings<br />
    If Net Earnings are the same, then the system looks at:<br />
    <br />
    2. Lowest Number of Picks by the user<br />
    If the lowest number of picks by the user is the same, then the system looks at:<br />
    <br />
    3. The Earliest Timestamp of the user's last pick[/size][/color]<br />
    <br />
    [size="2"][color="#1C2837"]
    [/color][/size]<br />
    [size="2"][color="#1C2837"]If you still want to learn how it works, I'd recommend reading this thread. I played HEAVILY during the first half of the '08 season and did well. For a single tournament there is a fair amount of luck involved, but maybe if you follow how it works in the long run you can pick up on some strategies.[/color][/size]<br />

    Now the hard part... Risk the money of a solid finish, or take the hit on a big payout player??<br />

    I imagine anyone with Schwartzel from the beginning will be in the money or very close - there can't be too many.
