League Milestone

4:36 AM ET on 3/28/11 by Jay Soester

Sunday's conclusion of the Arnold Palmer Invitational ended the Fantasy Golf winter segment. The first segment points of the 2011-2012 season were handed out as a result. This was the first instance of fractional points being awarded in league history. Dave Berrong had the most points for the segment and earned the maximum value of six points for his placement. Terry Dolasinski was the first member to earn fractional points with 5.87 for second place.

If you missed the explanation of the new system, read this earlier news item. Once the 2010-2011 season has finished (making the old system completely outdated), I'll be working on a permanent rules page explaining the scoring system.

I'd also like to point out the efforts of Buck Meier and Kobi Akers for earning championship points based on their segment placement despite missing the first week of the season. Meier finished 16th for 4.00 championship points while Akers squeaked in in 45th for 0.13 points.

New Championship Points System

4:17 AM ET on 3/18/11 by Jay Soester

n = Total number of members participating in a game.
m = Maximum championship point total awarded for the standings in question.
r = A member's rank in the standings in question.

The above formula will be the basis of the new scoring system. I strove to keep the new system similar to the old one while improving in four key areas.

Message Board Member Stats

4:50 AM ET on 2/28/11 by Jay Soester

Beginning with the 2011-2012 season, time logged into the message board will be a factor in determining the message board activity bonus points on top of the old method of post count. Bonus Points are primarily to reward those that help me and activity on the message board helps me determine which directions the league should move in, helps me understand the members' point of view and increases the website's traffic.

I've created a Message Board Member Stats page so that everyone can see where they stand against their fellow competitors. If you have any questions, reply to this thread.

Conferences

5:48 PM ET on 2/9/11 by Jay Soester

Ever wondered how the conferences are broken up? If a state had residents in more than one conference? I undertook the task of sorting out the conference boundaries down to the zip code level and have added the results to the rules section. These breakdowns have been in affect for the 2011-2012 season with at least one member changing conferences as a result of the study. Please make sure to use your member profile to update your zip code as soon as possible if you're in a border state. I'm also looking to make a zip-code level, interactive map of the conferences, I'm offering five bonus points to anyone who can get it done.
