How to Use the 2011 Rotoff Golf Draft Kit

Shlink Lincoln Sports is proud to offer the 2011 Rotoff Golf Draft Kit. This year's Rotoff Golf Draft Kit includes our standard fantasy golf advice and cheat sheets.

The Overall 2010-2008 is an excel stat sheet of any golfer that has played at least 5 tournaments in a season on the PGA Tour over the last three years. Each golfer is ranked in fifteen stat categories, weighted based on how often they play and how well they score, and given a Unit value. This Unit value is a golfers worth in a standard Draft Auction of 100 Units and 10 golfers per team. A golfer's Overall ranking is a three year rank, based on stats from 2008-2010.

SLS 2010, SLS 2009 and SLS 2008 are sortable excel sheets and loaded with PGA Tour stats. You can search each sheet by golfer name, Wins, Top 10s, etc. to help you search for your team needs. Please note that these stats are for the FedEx Cup season only. At this time we do not use PGA Tour Fall Series statistics as the Fall Series is not used in Rotoff Golf.

Units (100) - This is a golfers worth in a standard Draft Auction of 100 Units and 10 golfers per team. If you are not using a Draft Auction for your fantasy golf draft you I highly recommend it.

Rank - Each golfer is ranked in fifteen stat categories, weighted based on how often they play and how well they score, and given a Unit value. This Unit value is a golfers worth in a standard Draft Auction of 100 Units and 10 golfers per team. A golfer's ranking is a three year rank, based on stats from 2008-2010.

TC - You designate your TC at the beginning of every Segment and if your TC plays all four rounds and finishes in the Bonus you get double bonus points. The TC rating is a recommendation grade based on the following:

A = Bonus in 5+ Segments

B = Bonus in 4 Segments

C = Bonus in 3 Segments

D = Bonus in 2 Segment

F = Bonus in 1 Segments

TC rating is also a good indicator for performance in Salary Cap leagues.

Events - Total Events Played

AF/Finish - A golfers average finish

RSA - Rotoff Scoring Average is a golfer's projected Rotoff Golf score per tournament. Because bogies and worse rarely play until the final rounds in Rotoff Golf, bogies are weighted less than +1 stroke. In addition this stat is a good indicator of performance in Bestball leagues.

R1 - Round 1 RSA is a golfer's weighted score for the first round of tournaments.

R2 - Round 2 RSA is a golfer's weighted score for the second round of tournaments.

R3 - Round 3 RSA is a golfer's weighted score for the third round of tournaments.

R4 - Round 4 RSA is a golfer's weighted score for the fourth round of tournaments.

Wins - Total number of Wins on the PGA Tour.

Bonus - Bonus points are awarded in Rotoff Golf for overall tournament finish as follows:

Win = 3 points

2^nd = 2 points

3^rd = 1 point

Top 10 - Total number of Top 10s on the PGA Tour.

C/W/D - Cuts, Withdrawals and Disqualifications

Eagles - Total eagles

Birdies - Total birdies

Bogies - Total bogies

Segments and Money List - The Segment and Money List grades are based on the following:

A = Plays 70% of the time

B = Plays 50% of the time

C = Plays 33% of the time

D = Plays 20% of the time

F = Plays > 20% of the time

No Grade = Has never played

+ (plus) = With Bonus

Bonus in any Segment will cancel C/W/D in the same Segment. Money List and Segment ratings are also a good indicator of performance in Yahoo! leagues for a specific grouping of tournaments.

Money List grades are a measure of how a golfer performs in specific PGA Tour events. Standard Rotoff Golf league weekly payouts are weighted for Major (5x) and WGC/P (2x) tournaments.

WGC/P

WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship

WGC-Cadillac Championship

WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

The Players Championship

Majors

The Masters

U.S. Open

The Open Championship

PGA Championship

SLS Cup Playoffs

Deutsche Bank Championship

BWM Championship

Tour Championship

All Segment grades are based on the tournaments for the current PGA Tour season. So if a tournament has moved on the schedule it will not effect Segment grades for previous years. For example the Waste Management Open was in Segment 2 in 2010, but moved to Segment 1 for 2011, therefore is considered a Segment 1 tournament for all seasons.
