So only one of the top 4 can win GOTY 😮

spacecoyote · 31-08-2022 3:01pm

Yup, pretty sure these are the permutations, relative to my score

SPACECOYOTE: Top 5 for me and I cant be caught
ROADRUNNER: Has to win and me finish worse than 9th. 2nd for you, with no improvement for me would put us equal on best 5 and best 4, which means, I think, that I would win on events won
SLAVE1: Win requires me to finish 4th. 2nd requires me to finish 6th. 3rd requires me to finish 7th. 4th requires me to finish 8th. 5th requires me to finish 9th. 6th place requires me to finish 12th or better.
CHARLIEIRL: win requires me to finish 5th. 2nd requires me to finish 7th. 3rd requires me to finish 8th. 4th requires me to finish 9th. 5th requires me to finish 10th. 6th place requires me to finish 12th or better.

In terms of top 10, and the Jug places, strictly speaking, everyone from 24th place upwards can leapfrog the current 10th place total, with Scotty_golf9, SeveOB, Doublecross being the ones eligible for the largest leaps up the table having only got 4 qualifiers in so far.

Depending on attendees, I think that someone would have to be looking at targeting getting to around the 600 point mark to put themselves in a strong position (which actually puts Fix and r1986 in fairly precarious positions in current 5th and 6th)

As Fix said, the new points system really tightens things a lot, at the bottom, as well as the top.

A win for anyone from seve in 21st, upwards, would see them above the 600 point mark currently in 5th.

Be fun if I finish 6th and you don’t improve on your worst score Space!!

slave1 · 31-08-2022 4:36pm

Thanks for the analysis Space.....but nothing beats points in the bag, with a lot more golfers outside the top 4 playing these will likely determine the final result versus the top 4.

An enjoyable final round of the year will be the real winner

spacecoyote · 31-08-2022 4:48pm

True @slave1 & @charlieIRL

Actually the numbers say that Slave in 3rd has a slightly easier route to the win than Charlie in 2nd because Charlie's worst counting is 75 and Slaves is 57 so scope for increase is better.

Also interesting that 4 of the people who won events this year are outside the top 10. Admittedly, Bluenote has only played twice, but the other 3 have played a minimum of 6 events.

More proof that the target of GOTY rewarding consistency is holding true

slave1 · 31-08-2022 4:50pm

2nd, the place to be.........again

bobster453 · 31-08-2022 9:56pm

So basically I need to win in MJ then to qualify for Jug.

No worries then 😂😂😂

Seve OB · 01-09-2022 12:39am

I haven’t drilled into it in to much detail but I think 600 might be a fair bit on the high side. I think 580 will be comfortable, but 560 will more than likely be closer to the number to get into the top 10.

but it’s always fun crunching the permutations and combinations.

Golfgraffix · 01-09-2022 8:04am

I have learned not to question Space when it comes to numbers. He’d give Alan Turing a good run.

Good Space Hunting ....

Is difficult to predict...because as amateurs that sort of key top 15 positions are erratic enough...

Snackbox20 · 01-09-2022 9:37am

I have no hope so in getting into 12th 😂😂😂

spacecoyote · 01-09-2022 9:38am

Yeah, I wasn't really saying it was going to require 600 to crack the top 10, more of a number that I think you'll need to be around to guarantee it.

Given 10th is 543, and Pakmans worst score is a 43, he would only need to play on the day to improve. Finish in last place and it brings his score to 550. If he finishes 14th, that brings current 10th to 580.

RoadRunner · 01-09-2022 9:50am

It'll be nice to tee up and KNOW the winner of the GOTY is going to be in our fourball.

Losing 6 shots in a row for spacecoyote does not help his case for the final. Slave has definitely built his points in a more sustainable (sneaky!) manner (I guess you could say the same about me.)

slave1 · 01-09-2022 10:19am

In fairness I missed the first two outings so was well down the board as I was a long time in getting the 5 rounds under the belt which I only just achieved in Tullamore, a course I know backwards

I love targets....

FixdePitchmark · 08-09-2022 12:46pm

All members, there were lots of vouchers given out over the year - please try spend them and just issuing this as a reminder.

Awful waste if not used...

As someone wisely said you can buy beer and food with that ......

CONSI · 09-09-2022 10:03am

are all the tee times for mount juliet gone?

Yes, all slots are currently filled, but there is a wait list you can add yourself to, in case of drop outs

Lucky enough to win one of our Sponsors golf shirt recently. Very nice to win and most impressive cooling qualities from the bamboo material. Thanks to stinger.ie
