A predictions league where there will be 10 teams in the league. A team consists of 8 PGA players drafted by the team captain. Draft order is determined by "luck of the draw" and is serpentined. The league will run from Jan. 16th (Bob Hope) through Aug. 25th (NEC Invitational & the Reno-Tahoe Open). All players are returned to the draft each year.

THE SCORING.

1st place 20 points
2nd place 15 points
3rd place 10 points
Top 10    6 points
Top 25    3 points

5th place   $50.00

TRANSACTIONS.
Transactions may be made each Tuesday through Thursday before 1 P.M. There are 2 types of transactions:

The "Waiver Wire" - You may drop a player from your roster, and pick up an available player who is not on a roster.  You must make a bid for the desired player, and the highest bidder will be awarded that player. The minimum bid is $3.00.

Trading - You may negotiate a trade with any other team. The number of players or draft picks is not limited, but must be player for player, draft pick for draft pick. Cost is $3.00 per player/draft pick, per team.  The deadline for trading is August 1st.

THE PARTY.
All funds collected throughout the season will go towards the "End of the Year Gala Event". The Australian Team then pairs off against a team of Americans playing the exact same game for a Fantasy Presidents Cup. Each side brings 10 "teams" to the match, and the competition takes place during the entire 32 week Fantasy season.  The first 16 weeks are played as the "1st Round", or 1st set of matches.  Each weekly PGA Tour event is treated as 1 hole played, with the total weekly score for each team going against their opponent's total weekly score. Scoring is standard Match Play throughout the competition. Each match is worth 1 point, with ties awarding 1/2 point to each side. The first round will be worth 10 total points.

After the first round is complete, the Captain of the team that is losing will assign the matches for the "2nd round", or the last 16 weeks of the Fantasy season. A total of 10 points are available in this second round, making the total available points for the competition 20. Team USA will need only 10 total points to retain the cherished Cup, while Team Australia will need a minimum of 10 1/2 points to bring the Cup down-under. While the Cup competition is played primarily for fun and pride, the losing team is required to send a "Champion's Box" to the winners.
