    Greetings all, hope you're all still enjoying good health !

    Everyone will draft two golfers in a snake style format. The ante will be posted here upfront, and will be the same as in the past majors pools, a bottle that would trade roughly the equivalent of a CCB Hunahpu. For anyone not familiar with Huna, it's a one day, brewery only release (BA rated 100) that retails around $30. The bottle you put up is your only requirement for entry, however some local "extras" are always a nice touch.

    We have a "full field" already and will not be adding any new participants at this time. If you want to be added to the next version of this, send me a beermail !

    Each participant w\ill draft two golfers in a snake style draft Once selected that golfer is no longer available. The winners will be calculated two ways and split the prize pool. If you win on both sides, you only get the better of your two finishes. There will be 4 winners, first and second on each side. We have 14 guys participating, payouts are 5 bottle picks for the winners, 2 for the second place finishers.

    1. The total amount of prize money your two golfers win combined.

    2. The combined placement score of your two golfers, with the lowest placement scores winning. Example, if your two golfers finish in 8th place and 17th respectively, their combined score is 25. If one or both of your golfers misses the cut, they will receive a score equal to the number of players who made the cut plus 1. So if one of your golfers missed the cut and the cut line was 44 golfers, your score for that golfer would be 45 to combine with whatever place your other golfer finishes in.

    If you're lucky enough to win, you can draft your own bottle provided it's available when your turn to "bottle draft" comes up if you don't want to ship. Other than that, everybody ships.

    We'll start the draft tomorrow (Friday) AM. @WhoDatMatt start it off then and tag the next guy once your pick is made. Or start now if you wish. Everybody please post your bottle ante as usual.

    I’ll waste no time. I hear that Johnson guy is stroking it well these days. I’ll take a flyer on him. I’ll tentatively ante a ‘20 Mexican Cake....but I may have an alternate option if things go my (your) way. @sblickem on the clock

    Just a quick poll, we usually do the "reverse order" for these drafts when everybody is playing. Since the British is cancelled and there's three events I did blind draw for the first two. I was thinking of creating the draft list for the Masters where the guys who drafted lower in the first two based upon draft number would pick earlier in the Masters to even it up a bit? Any thoughts, objections?

    I like the normal reverse but whatever you decide I'm good with.

    I’m good with that. And good with random. On board with whatever you do. Assuming you’ll take avg position from first 2 and reverse that? I guess the only flaw I see is that someone that got 2 middling picks could be stuck with another, and not have a chance at a top 4-5 pick for any of the 3. Just a thought, but I’m down for whatever.

    Listen you fucking scrub a) I don’t have any beers b) without the random draft order I would smoke you

    I do have money and I do have Draft Kings. Set up a 1 on 1 like you did last time and I’ll happily take your money. PM if you’re not scared and name your price.
