In an official ceremony held in late September at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, 2007 SLS Cup Champion Dutch Roll was awarded with the SLS Cup amongst a (not so) packed house.

Along with Dutch Roll, fellow Rotoff Golf league members Shlink Lincoln and Gorilla Biscuits were in attendance.  It was the cap on a dominating season by Dutch Roll and his team MVP Tiger Woods, that included two major wins (The Masters and U.S. Open) and the 2007 Money List title.

After a slow start, Dutch Roll grabbed the #1 overall point position in Week 32 and never looked back.  Dutch Roll heads into the 2008 season #1 on the career earnings list.

Round 4

The Mahan/Woods final round battle was not much of a battle at all and Dutch Roll runs away in round 4 to win the first SLS Cup Playoff. 18 Hoes put up a galiant fight through three rounds, but alas Tiger is Tiger and the #1 seed through the regular season and #1 on the 07 Money List puts the caps on a dominating Rotoff season.

(And I thought it wouldn’t be a Tiger dominated league. This will be somewhat corrected next season when we go from a snake draft format to an auction. Even still the team with the best player is typically the best team, no matter the sport)

Gonzalez caps off a great season by winning the consolation bracket with a total score of -37, setting the course record, and a score that would have topped Dutch Roll had he been able to sneak past 18 Hoes in the semis. All in all the seeds through the regular season held up in the playoffs.

2007 SLS Cup Champion: Dutch Roll $100.00 (+$55.00 ML)

2007 SLS Cup Runner Up: 18 Hoes $50.00 (+$33.00 ML)

Gonzalez and Sand Crabs are currently battling for the 4th and final playoff spot and are both tied for 6th place at -11. Interesting to note that current #1 seed Dutch Roll loses his #1 golfer (a dude by the name of Tiger Woods) to the fantasy cut. Interesting points race indeed.

Round 4

18 Hoes gets a much needed win ($4.00) and jumps up to 2nd place on the points list thanks to a rejuvenated Mickelson. His -4 was the best Rotoff Round of the day and secures a two shot win over RU ($1.00) Kinzler, who has put together an impressive run over the last three weeks (Major Win, RU and 3rd place) and moves up to fifth on the 07 Money List.

Only five total points separate teams 2-5 on the points list. With only one week left next week will be huge in determining the final playoff seedings. Sand Crabs is on the outside looking in, but is only 3 points out of 4th place.

Round 3

Golf Cheese Hoes shoots the RR at -8 to get back into contention. 18 Hoes remains the leader by two strokes over Sand Crabs.

Round 1

18 Hoes gets out to a great start to take the lead over his closet persuer in the points chase, Sand Crabs. 18 Hoes shoots -14 and leads by one shot going into round 2. Bonus points are going to be huge this week and Sabbatini’s first round lead could be huge for Sand Crabs if he can hold on. As of right now Gonzalez would be out of the playoffs, but there’s still a lot left to be played before the final playoff seeds are decided.
