I threw the lineup in a free contest. I also had DJ and Rahm...but not much else.

McIlroy again struggling in first round. I heard during the British Open that he's in the bottom quartile in scoring in the first round, and #1 on the tour on day 2. Vegas playing well again--I subbed him in late.

So, the one guy that didn't pick DJ is kinda loving it right now.

It looks like I will finish 2nd this week. I think I would have locked up the week if the cut didn't slip to +2. kbroyer had 3 more players make the cut when that happened.

So ... anyone else getting a message asking them to confirm all of our personal information before we are allowed to enter the contest this weekend?

Just figured I'd check before I blindly entered everything ...

I think I had that a week or so ago. I believe it's just a random check.

I have 5 guys where I'm the only one to pick them, and my 6th is only owned by one other person.

Our league might be getting too good. 6 missed cuts total out of 7 entries.
Our league leader this week with 425 points would be sitting in 3rd in the 1400 entry $5 league I entered.

1st place has 435 points - $600 payday
3rd has 425 points - $275 payday

In the big league I am in - $3 entry 127,000 entries - 425 points puts you in the mid 300's - someone had a killer lineup that has netted 495 points so far and stands to win $15,000.

Ugh. That's me. I did enter a lineup in another league, but it was slightly tweaked and I'm at 392 points and out of money.

Pulled out the win by half a point. Wow, that was a close one!
Henley choked down the stretch for me. Ugh.

EDIT: Had no idea we were doing the Olympics this week, I was wondering why I couldn't find my John Deere Classic sleeper on the list.

Guys, I never got an email for this week's contest and when I saw your post this morning @DrewDawg I went to look for it. Apparently it went to the spam file, which is odd since none of the other email invites have done so.

Anyway, I tried to sign up but it appears that I missed the deadline. I apologize for the screw up.

Edit: In the future, we should probably time the cancellation to synch up with the rest of the contests, Our contest had a 6:30 am EDT cancellation, but the rest of the contests are all tied to the first tee time, which is 8:20 EDT. (Of course, it would be even more helpful if I had thought to look for the email earlier. Mea culpa.)

Not sure if it will help - but I use the draftkings app and when I get invited to the league, I receive a pop up notification, which helps me remember.

I screenshot my team in case this happened - Cejka, Colsaerts, DeLaet, Fowler, Garcia, Gomez.

I'm at my office in NY and will sign up as soon as I get home.

Complicating things is the fact that my personal email went dark between 7 pm last night and 1 pm today, so I do not have an email invite for this one. (Thanks Yahoo!) If someone can help me figure out how to work around that, I'll sign up when I get home.

Why do you need email? Just go to DK and you should have an ALERT.

johnmd20 are you back in? Can start including you again starting next week...
I would be happy to be back in if you can fit me in. Phrasing.

edit - I did do a test game for the Barclay's this weekend and it took, so it's officially working in NY again.

My first win in this pool. And it was a fine win. I didn't have DJ but I had plenty to win this one pretty easily, with a very balanced lineup. It was the lineup of death b/c I joined two other golf battles and won both of those, too.
