How does Yahoo Fantasy Golf and Auto Racing work?

March 4th, 2010

I just signed up for Yahoo Fantasy Golf and Auto Racing. How does this work? I picked my team for the Auto Racing and Golf. Do I get points based upon their results in real-life races/golf tournaments or are the races/golf tournaments simulated and have their own winners? Is it like a pick-em for each real-life race/tournament to see who does best? I don’t get this!

in Fantasy Golf, a golfer can receive a maximum of 20 fantasy points in each round of a tournament. The golfer with the lowest real-life score in A Round receives 20 points. Other golfers receive 2 fewer points for every stroke they finish behind the leader (e.g., a golfer 1 stroke back for the round receives 18 points, a golfer 2 strokes back gets 16. Golfers 10 or more strokes back receive 0 points).
You receive the total points earned by all active golfers on your team in each round provided that they haven’t already been active in 10 tournaments
You do not receive points for golfers in a non-activated (reserve) position in your lineup.
Additionally, while a golfer might win a tournament, they might not have the lowest score in the final round of play. As such, the tournament winner doesn’t necessarily earn 20 points for the final round of play.
Bonus points are awarded for golfers placing in the top three at each tournament. First place golfers earn 20 bonus points, second place 10, and third place 5. To earn bonus points for your team, a golfer must be active for at least one round of the tournament. The golfer can be in a non-activated (reserve) position at the end of the tournament and still earn bonus points for your team.
If a tournament round is officially canceled, no team receives points for that round. All other scoring rules stay the same. If a round is delayed or postponed, no points are awarded until it is completed.

2.) in Fantasy auto racing, each driver can receive a maximum of 90 fantasy points during each race. The top 45 finishers receive points, with the winning driver getting the maximum 90, and other drivers receiving 2 fewer points for every spot they finish behind the leader (e.g., the second-place driver gets 88 points, the third-place driver gets 86).

You receive the total points earned by all active drivers on your team provided that they haven’t already been active in nine races.

Bonus points are awarded to each of the drivers with the 4 best starting positions after qualifying. The top qualifier receives 10 bonus points, the second receives 5, the third receives 3 and the fourth receives 1. Because qualifying for Daytona 500 is broken up over 2 days, these bonus points are not awarded for the Daytona 500.

An additional 10 bonus points are awarded to each driver who leads at least 1 lap during a race. The driver leading the most laps during a race also earns another 10 bonus points. To earn these bonus points for your fantasy team, a driver must be on your team and active during the race.

If a race is officially canceled, no fantasy team receives any points for that race. All other scoring rules stay the same. If qualifying or a race is delayed or postponed, no points are awarded until it’s completed. If qualifying is canceled and the starting grid is determined by Nextel Cup points standings, no qualifying bonus points are awarded.

hope this will help. good luck for this season.

AJ reveals the truth about golf: what is it?

February 18th, 2010

I saw this thing on the golf channel for some videos about this guy revealing the truth about golf. The results seemed good. So without ordering the video I just want someone to simply tell me the 3 truths AJ reveals in his videos.

Truth #1) AJ has been selling this video for a decade

Truth #2) He puts a new cover on it every other year or so and puts it back in the infomercial rotation

Truth #3) AJ does not have a single touring professional as a student. Not now. Not ever.

His whole "secret" is that people try to do too much with their bodies. He thinks that you hold on to the club with your hands, so take the club back with your hands and hit it with your hands. That’s it. Then he does a whole bunch of demonstrations to show you how smart he is. A high handicap friend of mine bought the videos the first go around years ago, even though I begged him not to. It was completely worthless. Go find a good instructor who can teach you the fundamentals and why they matter.

Oh yeah, and my buddy got worse trying the AJ "truth"
