šŸ†šŸ„‡ Season Long Fantasy Golf

Starting January 2023 | Join a League & Commissioner Handbook

Last Updated: November 30th, 2022Players currently enrolled in leagues: 588

šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļø Join A League!

If you’d like to join a league, reference this spreadsheet for the current options. If you find a league that meets your expectations, join by clicking the URL in the last column.

If you do not see a league that matches your expectations, you can create one! You’ll be the league commissioner and there is a step-by-step guide how to do that below. It should only take a few minutes.

NOTE: You might notice the addition of leagues called ā€œFantasy TOUR ā€¦ā€ with myself listed as the commissioner. Just to be clear, I won’t be participating in these leagues (8 is enough for now) but I’ve created them for others to play. I will act as the treasurer meaning that I’ll initiative the payouts at the end of the season.

My goal is to help facilitate more league creation without the need for more outside commissioners.

šŸ†šŸ„‡ Commissioner Handbook

Thank you so much for supporting the Season Long Fantasy Golf initiative. As a prospective Commissioner, your job is incredibly valuable in getting this off the ground and you will play a key role in its success.

As a Commissioner, your goals are to 1) fill your league, 2) uphold the league’s integrity and 3) foster an excellent experience.

Notice that I did not say ā€œHold The Moneyā€ as one of your responsibilities. I know that receiving, maintaining and distributing funds is a hassle and can cause unnecessary anxiety. There are a few options that will make this portion of the league much more palatable. More on that coming up.

My goal is to provide you with all the resources that you need to run a successful league. Candidly, I’ve never taken on something on this scale but I’m up for the challenge!

Below, you’ll find all the resources you need. I would recommend bookmarking this page. I intend for this document to be a living, breathing handbook. As information changes, this document will be updated.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thanks

Rick
