Hey Coach THeegala has withdrawn from the tournament.
Good spot TLO.

COACH, get picking again for a late sub. Anyone who has not teed off, Theegala was 25 so you can pick anyone from there or cheaper....

If Coach doesn't pick up the message then Wyndham Clark will be put in as a like-for-like replacement. At least with top 3 counting, it's a free hit
I will take Clark, son had surgery and I missed this and thank you watching over oicks

Yo, MM.

There seems to be an issue with the scoring. It seems to be calculating the under-par scores, but doesn't take into account the over-par scores.

I know at this point it really doesn't matter, but thought it should be pointed out.

Yeah I noticed that earlier in the day and I think I put in a fix about an hour or so ago. Fingers crossed it looks like it's OK now.

PS you have taken into account everyone's two worst players are ignored?

I did not, but I will keep that in mind.

Thanks.

Did you do that with an if then formula of some sort?

A combination of IF, MAX, MIN, SMALL and ABS all made appearances.

I quite like this PICK 5 format at this stage. Phil Michelson +8, Martin Kaymer +7, Karl Vilips +7 and Patrick Fishface +6 are not destroying their protagonist's teams at this stage and keeping the board quite tight.

And you have just snatched the lead for the first time. I was enjoying those lofty heights at the top of the leaderboard all day.....

I used to construct if then formulas with like 70 characters. Really challenges the brain cells

I had a bit of a battle with the number of holes played because of the staggered start - ie the ESPN board shows 9* for a player who started on 10th tee. Anyway, fixed that - another challenge overcome.

Also added the "WHAT IF all 5 players were counted to the scoreboard" - that might ramp up some debate now about the mechanics of the contest.
