Bunkered - Winter Fantasy Golf 2019/20

[polarbear]

For those that aren't aware, the new Winter league starts this week.

I see we have 6 transfers instead of the usual 2 because of the botched selection process this week

[toffeelover]

Start as you mean to go on

[Boddington]

I believe there are only 18 players currently playing the weekend who are listed in Bunkered.
Unless players come from nowhere, I imagine everybody will have the same team but different captains this week, given the 6 transfers today.

[toffeelover]

Yep, only 18

Why oh why can't they just put all of the top 150 on each tour in?

And with 6 transfers, Brandon Stone is going to have to be transferred out - queue a pair of weekend 63s

They seem to be working with 2 separate player lists. Pablo Larrazabal and Thomas Aitken (probably others) are on the players score list, but you can't pick them!

I dont understand what has happened in this game as the leaders all have Pablo Larrazabal and Thomas Aitken in their teams - yet neither player was in the players list?

I may be wrong but as bunkered sent out emails linking the summer game by mistake, it looks like those that picked golfers from the old list were transferred to the new game. A total shambles

From looking at the facebook group, it would appear that they added other names between 7pm and midnight. So anyone who made their transfers in the early part of the transfer window missed out on all the extra golfers listed later on. It is a joke

Yes, I made my changes around 4pm and they weren't included. I actually wanted Larrazabal in my starting 12 but of course, he wasn't available.

How can you change the player list mid tournament

Pablo and Aiken were not on the original list, which I downloaded, so I didn't even look for them on the transfer list!

Farcical once again from Bunkered

Same here, I have a spreadsheet with all the names on, though i did check to see if they had added any names when i made my transfers on Friday at around 6pm.
From what i have seen on their Facebook page, it would appear that they added the extra names between 7pm - 11pm
One player noted he did his transfers early and there were no new names, yet checked later in the night and saw the new names as he had a transfer left over.

CAN WE HAVE A MULLIGAN PLEASE?

bunkered Fantasy Golf has been running for over 15 years and, for the last seven or eight, has been available to play exclusively online.

Today, we’re doing something we’ve never had to do before.

We’re voiding last week’s results.

Reckon it was my tweet that did it

Well done Bunkered!

[Boddington]

Absolutely
They have rectified their error and held their hands up - Fair Play to them

Credit where it's due. They must have realised that adding players during a tournament was unfair on some participants.

Na, it was my facebook post that done it!

Bunkered giving everyone 6 transfers this week when it should only be 3.

The 6 transfers in week 1 was because of their "redirectional bug". Looks like they forgot to change it back to 3

Thats ridiculous - I was working off 2 and only need 3 at a maximum.
Looks like everyone will have the same teams again.

[Father_Karras]

Be careful. Says you have six but it only gave me two.

[Boddington]

I made my 3 without checking - because i did them in alphabetical order, i took out a player who made the cut and it has left a player who missed the cut.
They obviously havent got it right yet - hopefully next week

[Dad Dancer]

I've only got two transfers as well.

[toffeelover]

Winter rules state just 2 transfers.

Did you get 3 Boddington?

No, only 2 though because i though we had 6, i was making 3 changes.
Unfortunately my third change was a player who missed the cut and my first change had made the cut. So if i had known it was only 2, i would have just replaced my 2 players who missed the cut.

[polarbear]

Rules state 3 transfers

Every Friday evening, the Transfer Window will open from 6pm until midnight, during which time you will be able to make up to THREE changes to your team. The points ultimately earned that week by the player you transfer in, and not the player you transfer out, will count towards your total. Bear in mind, if you transfer out your captain, you WON’T be able to choose a new captain.

Edited to add: Just looked now and they have amended it to "TWO". (they must be reading this thread )

[Dad Dancer]

Appears that Transfer window was opened before 6 o clock allowing up to 6 transfers and then was corrected later on to two. Real shame that it's still not sorted and that players are being penalised for following the rules.

Interesting to see leaderboard today then because I don't think there's that many scoring players in the points. Anyone with Detry as captain is probably leading

[toffeelover]

Nice work Boddington, I assume that's you atop the pile?
