I’m going to break the field into 4 tiers, based on odds to win, tier 1 is 1-15, tier 2 is 16-30, tier 3 is 31-45, and the last tier is everyone else. You pick one golfer from each tier and guess winning score to par for tiebreaker. I’ll post the official tiers on Monday.

gfb in.

Can DART play? He/she has been working hard on the spreadsheet tool but still frustrated at the inability to scrape the Masters Leaderboard web page even with the use of python. API's are all commercial. I might have to appeal to the members on DART's behalf to see if they will provide a free API for leaderboard updates in non-commercial applications. Seems weird that they would be so profit motivated on this particular point in light of all the other stuff they either break even or actually lose money on.

Greeny! Welcome back!

DART’s ok with me, but we should pick an honorary winner beforehand in the event of another DART victory. Thoughts?

Totally open. DART will play for anybody. Still have vet70 in the Pool sheet from last fall...

Edit:
1 - one thought is it seems like the defending champ ought to be able to mount a defense until unseated competitively.
2 - not sure how I missed this before but just gave another shot at api search. Found a GitHub link: https://gist.github.com/loisaidasam/...9f97b1cf3a7edf
ESPN leaderboard site URL found in this stuff. Currently serving leaderboard data for the Valero Texas Open. Turns out python is able to suck this into a data table very nicely. Thought I tried this site out last fall with no luck. Wasn't using python then though. Also the Masters may make the site change possibly. We will find out on Thursday I guess. For now DART verrrrrry excited. This is the last piece to fully automate the entire pool tracking process.

Good call, we can just cross that (Hogan) bridge when we get there...
