Fantasy Golf Anyone?

With the 2008 pga/usga season just around the corner, I was wondering if this website had enough interested members for a fantasy golf league. We had a league at my former golf forum stomping grounds, but they have closed their doors due to a non posting membership issue. What we did over there was pick pga players on a weekly basis from the the golf world ranknings, and each tournament's list of players attending. Picks would consist of 5 pro players, and two alternates. The alternates were just in case a picked player decided not to show, or had to with draw from the tournamnet. Alternates could not replace a player that had been DQ'd due to rules infraction, or players who missed the cut.
To make the member picks more interesting, there were mulitpliers added to the pga pros scores, based on the world rankings. PGA pros ranked 1-10 had a multiplier of 1. 11-20 had a multiplier of 1.25. 21-30 had multiplier of 1.50. 31-40 had multiplier of 1.75. 41 and above had a multiplier of 2.00. This multiplier system was instituted to keep the playing members from picking from the top 5 every week. A risk/reward scenario if you wish.
We ran 4 individual rounds that usually included a major, and 8-10 weekly events for each round. The four individual rounds were devised so that playing members could start over fresh.
Scoring was kept in relation to par that the picked pga players racked up during weekly, and full round. Weekly winning scores were usually in 20+ under par range. Majors were usually in the plus 20 range. The winning member was the person who had the lowest scor in relation to par for the entire round. 200+/- under par usually won an individual round.
Some times we would stir things up, and go with a "5 Tour Challenge" where each member would pick a pga/lpga pro from the 5 tours (PGA, European, LPGA, Seniors, and Nationwide tours) There were no alternates allowed in the 5 Tour Challenge week.
As for prizes, the website being so small, and run by an individual with limited funding, there were no prizes. Just bragging rights so to speak. It was more for fun, and for members to follow their favorite pro players on a weekly basis. However, there were a member or two who would donate prizes for the winners of each round.
Like I said I was just wondering, and I added what we did in the last league I played in just as an example. Any questions? Support? Thanks, FHs
