The new game is now live and the first counting event is the Abu Dhabi Championship (26-29 January):

At the request of the European Tour, it's pretty much the same rules as for 2011, but with one change so that the game remains in line with the Race to Dubai itself. I won't spoil the fun and let you find out for yourselves...

Thanks for that Mr Green.

Had a nasty turn last week when I thought I'd missed the start

Only allowed 10 players, that's a shocker

Certainly is a cracking prize:

First Prize:

The winner of the 2012 Fantasy Race to Dubai will be hosted at the DP World Tour Championship at the conclusion of the 2013 Race to Dubai. This incredible VIP experience will include:


Two business class flights to Dubai

A stay in a luxury Dubai hotel

Hospitality package during the DP World Tour Championship

The opportunity to play in the Sponsors day on the Monday following the DP World Tour Championship

Signed memorabilia by the winner of the 2012 Race to Dubai; and

A set of Titleist irons and a bag to carry them around in

Rest aren't too shabby either:

Well overdue a FISO winner in this, so good luck everyone!

Looking forward to this as I did not give it much attention last year the same with most of my fantasy golf.....beware this year will be different

The reduction from 15 to 10 players is a step backward IMO.
The need for longer term strategy has been reduced, and therefore less skill required.

Fair enough if you want to reduce team sizes, but substitutions could have been reduced to 3 or 4 to match this.

That said I'm still looking forward to it!

Am I reading it right that you get five changes between events?

Yes, 5 changes per week.

The change to 10 players in a team will make scoring more volatile, as you can only cover the top 10 players rather than the top 15

Last year this would probably have resulted in many managers NOT having Schwartzel in the Masters (rather than just me ).

If they changed it to 30 transfers during the year, they'd have a cracking game

Reckon this is to much work for me.

Cracking prizes no doubt about that. However, I'm out

Only 10 share in the bonus pool in real life so makes sense to get the game matching it.

I'll prob have my usual half-hearted effort at it.

Every year I put up a box of one dozen Srixons as a prize for the winner of our Mini League. Last years winner was Nigel1305 with his team 'Only Fools and Horsey'. I'll be doing the same again this year, but with a different "Mystery Prize" going to the outright winner of the Mini League.
