I found one called www.runyourpool.com that already divides the players into 6 tiers. I can't go to the website because I'm at work and the site is blocked. Maybe somebody could check the site out and see if it meets our needs.

Or, we could just use their "tiering" system and run our own pool. If we can see their tiers, it would save somebody the trouble of making our own tiers.

Spuzz The tiers would need some revising. Hideki Matsuyama in tier 3? Not this year.

      The tiers are based on the world rankings (in order) with "next man up" as substitutes for those not playing for whatever reason.

          Spuzz From last year, though. Matsuyama has likely moved considerably up the world list since last year.

            I really liked the Masters Contest Coachsb ran. I'm in for this year as well.

            I'd definitely want to participate and will offer up a NIP 9.5* Snake Eyes driver head as a prize.

            OK. Here's an idea; very similar to last year's contest.

            Tier 1.
            Dustin Johnson
            Rory McIlroy
            Jason Day
            Hideki Matsuyama
            Henrik Stenson
            Jordan Spieth

            Tier 2.

            Justin Thomas
            Adam Scott
            Rickie Fowler
            Sergio Garcia
            Alex Noren
            Patrick Reed

            Tier 3.

            Justin Rose
            Tyrrell Hatton
            Danny Willett
            Paul Casey
            Bubba Watson
            Phil Mickelson

            Tier 4.
            Branden Grace
            Matt Kuchar
            Russell Knox
            Jimmy Walker
            Brandt Snedeker
            Brooks Koepka

            Tier 5.
            Jon Rahm
            Rafael Cabrero Bello
            Louis Oosthuizen
            Charl Swartzel
            Francesco Molinari
            Emiliano Grillo

            How about this. Pick ONE player from each group, and then pick ONE player who is not listed. Scores of all the players you chose will be added together. Players that miss the cut will have their first two rounds' score doubled and added to the total. The person whose picks have the lowest total score will win the contest.

            Tie breaker
            1) Will Tiger Woods play in the tournament?
            2) What will the winner's score be?

            How does that sound? The players are listed in order of their World Ranking as of today (top 6 in tier 1, 7-12 in tier 2, etc).

            If you don't like this idea, or have ways of improving it, post them in the thread. Thanks.

              rsvman Sounds really interesting and fun. You only have one problem...I'm picking either Marc Leishman or Adam Hadwin to win it, and they're not on the list. 🙂

                  kelco9 everyone is required to pick one player who is not on the list. You would have to choose between them.

                    Even though I'm a lefty and (assuming) that whatever prize, if a golf club, would be righty.... I guess you can still count me in.

                    It's not like I have a record of winning these contests anyway...

                      The format looks fine.

                      Since there were 3 prizes offered, how about first, second, and third prizes available.
                      More winners, more fun.
                      My prize can be third prize as it will be a used head.

                      Thanks rsvman for putting it into motion.

                        Thx to those who offered prizes.....I have an idea for one of the final 3 magors. Everyone pony up a sleeve of balls, winner takes them all🙂

                        rsvman I like that format, picking one additional player outside of the top 30 is a good idea!
