    OK guys I've started a group on Yahoo fantasy sports. The group name is Skybox. I'm just going to put the password here because it's so late.
    "open"
    It's a little different from last time.
    You pick 8 players altogether 4 starters and 4 on the bench. You get a starter and bench player from group A 2 of each from group B and 1 each from group C. Put your starter in the space and then move him to the lower spot and pick a bench player. Then move him down and your starter up. Hope that's clear enough.

    Just go to Yahoo fantasy sports and register your team...the first thing they ask next is if you want to join a group or start a new groupl

    This lasts all year...are you going to keep it going after the Open?

    I don't really want to do it every week, but now that we are set up we should just use it for the British Open, PGA, and the FedEx Cup playoffs maybe.

    Not so fast... No trophies presented for a 5 person group. We found that out last year in the NASCAR contest.

    It used to be that they had contests for each of the 4 majors. The usual format was picking a 3 man team and using their lowest score on each hole. I thought that that format was much better for the single tournament contests since you could see your score after every round. Apparently the scoring in this particular contest is based only on the final tournament results.
    Seems to me that those earlier contests usually had a sponsor. Maybe because of the economy they did away with them.
