Do you have any tips or strategy advice you can offer a first time participant?
Absolutely. Be sure you check out our
Strategy & Tips page.

What's the difference between a season and a session?
A season is composed of all 24 weeks.
A session consists of
4
consecutive weeks within the season. Each season has
6 sessions.
Think of each session as a mini-season in which prizes are also awarded
to top performers. Sessions add to the overall strategy and provide additional
opportunities to win prizes throughout the season; especially for those
who fall out of season prize contention. See the league
Schedule for a breakdown of
tournaments by session. See the Prizes page for a breakdown of prizes.
-
Can I have more than one team in a league?
Yes, as long as you pay the $100 league entry fee for each
team. For convenience, you can manage all your teams under a single account (e-mail
address). To set your lineup for a particular team, simply select the team in the
drop-down box on the Lineup screen.
-
When are the weekly results posted?
The results are posted shortly after the golfer earnings are made available
for each tournament. This is usually late Sunday evening. Participants can
elect to be notified by e-mail once their league results have been posted.
You can also follow us on
Twitter as we always
send a tweet out once our website has been updated with the tournament results.
-
What happens if I can't login or access the site due a problem at my end?
If you are unable to submit your lineup via the site for whatever reason (can't access site, forgot
password, etc.), you may submit your lineup via e-mail. However, any lineup submitted via e-mail
must have a timestamp prior to the lineup deadline or it will not be accepted. Any lineups received
via e-mail will be entered in the system by the commissioner as soon possible. Participants should
submit their lineup via e-mail to Commissioner@rgfgc.com.
-
How do I know my lineup has been received by the system?
There are 3 ways you can confirm your lineup was received by the system:
1) Check the Results screen which you should be forwarded to upon submitting your lineup, or
2) Check for a confirmation e-mail, or
3) Check the Lineup screen (i.e. go back to it)
On the Results screen, you can always see your lineup but no one else's until the lineup deadline
passes. You can determine if someone else has submitted their starting lineup because you'll see
"-- XXXXXXXX --" for each starting golfer. However, you don't get this indication for Sat / Sun subs
as it is considered strategically revealing.
-
Can I change my golfer selections after I submit them?
Yes, you can change your pick(s) as many times as you'd like as long as it's before
the lineup deadline. Each time you submit a lineup, you'll get an e-mail confirming
your selection(s).
Once the lineup deadline passes, then you'll only be able change your lineup
for the next upcoming deadline (e.g. Saturday sub).
-
Can I change my Saturday / Sunday sub after I submit it?
Yes, just like your starting lineup, you can change your sub choice as many times as you'd like
as long as it's before the lineup deadline. If you want to undo your sub choice and keep your
original lineup, just change both sub drop-downs to "--- Choose ---" and submit your lineup again.
-
Is there anything I can do to see the lineup deadline times in my own time zone?
Yes, you can configure your preferred time zone by clicking on the "My Profile" link at
the bottom of each page (after you login). Selecting your time zone will cause the
lineup deadline times to be displayed in your local time on the Lineup screen as well
as in the weekly lineup e-mail reminders.
-
Why are the Saturday / Sunday lineup deadlines after some golfers have teed off?
The Sat/Sun deadlines are always at 9 AM Central time except for a tournaments such as
the British Open which is on a totally different schedule since it takes place in the United Kingdom.
We do this for consistency and convenience. We don't want the Sat/Sun times to be a moving target.
Plus, it's nice to have Saturday morning to get your sub in if you forget or don't have time on Friday
night. The golfers who are already on the course by 9 AM are at the bottom of the leaderboard and their
winnings are almost always insignificant. The leaders don't usually tee off until much later than 9 AM
so the additional time provides no real advantage.
-
I'm not receiving lineup confirmation e-mails or any other league e-mails.
First make sure you haven't disabled "Email Reminders" via the "My Profile" link at
the bottom of each screen. Second, check your spam folder to make sure our e-mails
aren't going there. If they are, make sure you've added
Commissioner@rgfgc.com to your address book and safe sender list. For help on updating
your safe sender list, you can check out ExactTarget’s insightful
instructions.

I'm not going to have access to the Internet this weekend. How can I pick my Saturday sub?
You should consider submitting an auto-sub policy. This feature is available from the
Lineups screen (Saturday Sub) and allows you substitute your worst golfer with a golfer
atop the leader board based on several rule choices made by you. In general, auto-subbing
is not recommended, but is better than not subbing at all.
-
How come the lineup drop-downs include all golfers instead of just those playing in the upcoming tournament?
We don't have the ability to get real-time updates on who is and who isn't playing a tournament. Plus, golfers
withdraw and get added to tournaments at the very last minute. Therefore, we've put this onus on each
participant and suggest they always check various Internet sources to determine who's playing each week
(e.g. tournament website, golfer news, Vegas odds, etc). We've actually made this very easy by providing you with links
to many of the best sites on our Resources page. There is also a
"Check Field" button on the Lineup page which will take you straight to the player field listing for the upcoming tournament.
Usually you'll find this page to be the most current resource of any, so it's always worth double-checking.
For some reason, if you don't see a golfer's name in the lineup drop-down, just send us an
e-mail and we'll get him added as soon as possible. If it's close
to the lineup deadline time, just pick any golfer as a proxy and send us an email indicating
the new golfer you wanted to use. We must receive your e-mail prior to the lineup deadline time.
