Shlink Lincoln Sports is proud to offer the 2010 Rotoff Golf Draft Kit. This year’s Rotoff Golf Draft Kit not only includes our standard fantasy golf advice and cheat sheets but now you can monitor and follow your golfers stats all season long with our Rotoff Golf Draft Kit application.
The Top 200 is an excel stat sheet of the Top 200 PGA Tour golfers over the last three years according to Shlink Lincoln Sports’ unique Rotoff rating system. Each golfer is ranked in nine 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 Top 200 ranking is a three year rank, based on stats from 2007-2009.
SLS 2009, SLS 2008 and SLS 2007 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
Once you have purchased the 2010 Rotoff Golf Draft Kit you can access the Draft Kit Downloads at the bottom of the PGA Draft Kit page:
Brand new for 2010 is the Rotoff Golf Draft Kit application, a fantasy golf stat analysis tool. We have stats for all golfers that have played in a PGA Tour event since 2007, that’s over 800 golfers!
Log into the Rotoff Golf site and click on the “PGA Draft Kit” link at the top left. Once in the Draft Kit tool, type a golfer’s name into the search bar and click on their name in the gray box to bring up their stats page:
The initial page for each golfer is considered their “Total/All” page. This shows all their stats from 2007 to date. From there you select the stat view to help you manage your fantasy golf team. From the “Total/All” screen you can use the Toggle Bar to customize the stats view you want see.
You can view stats for all years (Total) or by individual years (2007, 2008, 2009 or 2010). The Toggle Bar also has 48 different tournament views, including WGC/P, Majors, Playoffs,
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. It is the only way to “Tiger Proof” your fantasy golf league. Units are not view specific.
Rank – Each golfer is ranked in nine 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 Top 200 ranking is a three year rank, based on stats from 2007-2009. All golfers ranked outside of the Top 200 will have a rank of NR (no ranking). Rank is not view specific.
TC –You designate your Team Captain 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 Segments
F = Bonus 1 or 0 Segments
TC rating is also a good indicator for performance in Salary Cap leagues.
Events – Total Events Played (or starts) for the selected view.
AF/Finish – A golfers average finish or finish for the selected view
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 and each round has a different total weight. In addition this stat is a good indicator of performance in Bestball leagues.
Wins – Total number of Wins on the PGA Tour for selected view.
Bonus – Bonus points are awarded in Rotoff Golf for overall tournament finish as follows:
Win = 3 points
2nd = 2 points
3rd = 1 point
Bonus is TOTAL bonus points for the selected view based on the breakdown above.
Top 10 – Total number of Top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour for selected view.
C/W/D – Total Cuts + Withdrawals + Disqualifications for selected view.
Eagles - Total eagles (-2) for selected view.
Birdies - Total birdies (-1) for selected view.
Bogies - Total bogies (+1) for selected view.
Segments & 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
- (minus) = With C/W/D and NO 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-CA 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 affect Segment grades for previous years. For example the FBR Open was in Segment 1 in 2009, but as it moved to Segment 2 in 2010, all grades reflect the FBR Open being in Segment 2.
Outlook – This is our analysis for the 2010 PGA Tour season. We point out a golfer’s strengths and weaknesses, while also giving Draft Auction advice where we see fit, to help you prepare for your fantasy golf draft.
