The GolfChatUK Fantasy League Event #06 is the WGC Accenture Match Play affair in the Arizona desert once again. Simply choose the overall winner of the tournament and then select the winner for each match in the first round: Round of 64. Selections will be made for the first round only and as Redrage pointed out: "we only need to submit picks for the first round and we only accrue points for the progrees of the 32 players we indicated at the start."

The best way to select is to copy and paste the field matches and place an "X" next to the player who is going to win or copy and paste the winners of each match as 'Doc' initiated. As the players who keep winning advance through the tournament, the points will be awarded according to the Scoring Table below. There is 50 points awarded for selecting the overall winner as well as 20 points awarded for having the most wins per round through the Round of Four and 50 points awarded for the one having the most wins for the tournament.

Overall Winner: Martin Kaymer

I have one question? Do we need to submit picks for every round or do we only accrue points for the progrees of the 32 players we indicated at the start?

Thanks for asking R_r.

You do not have to submit picks for each round. And yes, you only accrue points for the progress of the 32 players you indicated at the start. Plus the 50 points if you pick the correct tournament winner.

Great format Venice - I'll put my thinking cap on!

Thanks Davie for keeping the fantasy league posts updated as a sticky or not.

No worries Venice (though you should have permissions to stick/unstick them yourself!)

I must have skipped that lesson. And it's probably best if one or two keep order unless necessary.

Overall winner - Luuuke

There's still time to make the Match Play selections until first tee time of 14:35 or 2:35 p.m. London Time, Wednesday, 22 February, 2012. Big point opportunities will be lost for those who don't enter. Also, any who are too lazy to fill out all 32 matches can pick: all even numbers, all odd numbers, all favorites, all underdogs, etc. ... whatever your flavor may be.

You are far too accommodating Venice!

Thanks, Venice... made a couple of tweaks.

Certainly R_r. I don't log the selections until sometime during the first round for any particular tourney so all tweaks are good and probably beneficial (but in match play it can bite back very quickly as we know the result upon completion of play and the guy we dumped somehow got wind of it and is always plotting revenge for disloyalty).

Thanks B_C. I just wanted to give a clear warning this week as we're used to having to make selections by late Wednesday or early Thursday.

I don't log the selections until sometime during the first round for any particular tourney so all tweaks are good and probably beneficial (but in match play it can bite back very quickly as we know the result upon completion of play and the guy we dumped somehow got wind of it and is always plotting revenge for disloyalty).

I don't think the format matters, my reserves seem to use the same logic most weeks... 'I'll show him!'

Oooh - not as bad as I'd feared!

I see that half of us have lost our overall winner in the first round!

Thanks very much for this Venice.

Thanks Venice

Well done OPW, you must have been sipping that Old Par in celebration last night.

Loook, Sergio and Zach let me down.

I watched in horror last night as one by one my picks threw away a good lead and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. What a strange day ....

Can I get a recount please Venice? By my count I have 19 winners. I think this is some kind of conspiracy against me, last week I didn't even show on the leaderboard and now this.

I suppose you will be wanting bonus points for all the pain and suffering caused again this week then Grumps?...

Of course BCM. This time the bonus points would be for inconvenience and aggravation not to mention loss of earnings for having to chase this down.....

7 Alvaro Quiros X - NO
3 Bill Haas X - NO

The eyes say 18 - 14 but maybe the mind says something else. I'd give you the extra conspiracy point but I can't find it. I guess it's similar to the time when they couldn't find the knife that O.J. Simpson used to kill his wife except that he got off free despite the other mounting evidence and the conspiracy theorists won that one, "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit." In this case the glove fits. You may have to call Kato Kaelin to testify on your behalf, "I heard the struggling going on outside but I never looked to see what was going on."

UPDATE: 1GrumpyGolfer was successful in his appeal to the League Judge LadyPutt and will officially have 19 wins to his credit for Round 1. The League Secretary is wiping egg off of his face and confined to watching 3 hours of The Best of Tim Finchem Speeches as punishment.

Venice the glove in this case certainly don't fit, this really is a stitch up

I didn't pick G-Prat. I picked Ying-Yang instead. Extra conspiracy points in this case.

Isn't it always the case Venice...The ones that get to the party last are always the ones that cause the most trouble

Hear ye! Hear ye! Here comes The Judge ....

I've checked and 1GG definitely did pick Mr YE Yang (I wish I had!) and although he edited his pick, it was to change a pick to Frankie Molinari (again I wish I had!).

Spare a thought for Venice - this must be a nightmare for him and I think he's doing a great job updating things after every round.

And no, 1GG - you can't have any bonus points - so there!

Was it you that found Harry Redknapp innocent as well Lady Judge?...

Fair cop Guv! I was just messing with Venice. This must take a lot of work to maintain, the eclectic can be painful enough.

Venice, top man, thanks for all your hard work. Buy you a beer or two if you're ever out east. Grumps

Damn 1GG! And drats! I've been foiled again. I should have known better than to mess with the 'Eclectic Master'.

As a bonus, I've inserted your name at the top of those finishing the first round with 38 points. The other point of the whole exercise was to bring League Judge LadyPutt into the proceedings so that she could get a better look at you as her court will be expecting more visits from you during the course of the season, and especially when it's concerning any and all conspiracy theories. Johnny Cochran lives!

Thanks 1GG! I will certainly take you up on that offer if I ever get back East again. What area do you live near?

Harry Redknapp innocent pull the other one there was not a West Ham or Arsenal supporter on the jury, so sorry not a fair trial
