Cup Playoffs Right Around the Corner starting March 23rd

[CatMan]

This will be a 5 Event, 5 week Playoff running in both Leagues simultaneously..

The points reset exactly like fedex cup at beginning of Playoff. Points for each Event are now worth 5X more, and the player that finishes on Top of the standings at end of Playoffs brings home the Trophy...

Players Need a Minimum of 15 Rounds during Season 2 to qualify to play..

[CatMan]

Please give your suggestions on the 5 Courses you would like to see in the Playoffs, they need to be courses that are stocked or Platinum Courses that we have played in Season 1 and 2.

Thanks
CatMan

Minimum Requirement to play in Cup is 15 Rounds during 2nd season.. Player should see where they are at to make sure they meet this requirement before the start of the Playoffs..

[JohnMeyer]

If 5 rounds, should be maximum 3 platinum, 2 regular I guess. I know you said should be all courses weve played before, but Id be up for adding Jones Lake as the final round, as East Lake is where the real life Fedex Final Round is played this year

For me definitely should include Old Scot (St Andrews) and Monterray Classic (Pebble beach),

I also like Warwick Hills, and Black Mountain as stock ones,

So my line up would be

Round 1 - Warwick Hills
Round 2 - Old Scot (St Andrews)
Round 3 - Black Mountain
Round 4 - Monterray Classic (Pebble Beach)
Round 5 - Jones Lake (East Lake)

Also would it possible to split the field for the playoffs, just to make it interesting, a real good reason to try and climb the leaderboard pre playoffs and make it tighter, maybe top 10 from overall standings playing one set of playoffs, for the Tour Championship, rest of the field playing for the Best of the Rest.

Just an idea

Also I take it its unlike real playoffs, players arent cut out after each round, or are they?

As i understood FedEx Playoffs Top 125 play round 1, Top 100 play round 2, Top 70 play Round 3, Top 30 play Round 4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FedEx_Cup

If they are then ignore my splitting the field suggestion. Ie, all players play round 1, top 16 play round 2, top 12 play round 3, top 10 play round 4, top 8 play round 5.

For me, we could start with the easier courses & increase the difficulty.
1. Warwick Hills.
2. Bethpage Black.
3.Pebble Beach.
4. Kiawah Island.
5. Jones Lake.

I like Ian's course selection.

[CatMan]

The other thing we should think about is do we want to have eliminations Points???

[HWoods]

The cuts after each playoff round is a cool concept. I'll pay close attention to how it works out and perhaps it will be integrated as an option next season.

[braycobb]

I vote for the following:

Round 1: Full Field
Round 2: Top 20 in points
Round 3: Top 16 in points
Round 4: Top 12 in points
Round 5: Top 8 in points

FedEx Champion: Player with most points from the 5 events.

[CatMan]

I was thinking

Event 1 Full Field
Event 2 Full Field
Event 3 Top 12
Event 4 Top 8
Event 5 Top 5

FedEx Champion: Player with most points from the 5 events.

[CatMan]

Event 5 the Points will reset as well. giving every one a chance to win.... so 5th place player could win if 1st place player finished last in final Event.. and so on...

[CatMan]

Again these are my ideas not concrete, just looking for players thoughts

[CatMan]

This is a Reset Points Breakdown for final 5,

1) 2000
2) 1800
3) 1600
4) 1400
5) 1200

Points for Event 5

1) 2000
2) 1800
3) 1600
4) 1400
5) 1200


This will give everyone a chance to win in the final 5 depending on how players finish, it also allows for a 2 Round Playoff for any Point total Ties....

[CatMan]

Changed points above, like that scenario better
