In addition to the regular tournament I was considering running a four person team contest for the second nine holes which will begin on March 23rd. Before I decide whether to go ahead with this I am seeking your input on this .
1. Should we hold a team contest ( Yes/ No) If yes 2. Should we let individuals pick their remaining 3 team members (Yes/No) 3. Or Should we just draw the teams by random from the list of contestants

No
I don't see it. More like a lottery at this point. (some teams will automatically be out of the running with the draw...if it is to be done maybe team up the worst with the best so totals are fairly close after the first 9) Maybe eliminate players who have not made selections so far. (at any point)

Whatever everyone else decides (the majority) about having Teams is fine with me.
If we go with teams, then random is most fair minded.
Just like the horses on the Trail, any player can "jump up" at this point. There are still 10 prep races to go.
Not to mention, these earlier prep races have been at short distancces, not even 1-1/8 yet, and a lot of scratches.

Yes, random as long as you can identify players that have or plan to drop out.
We have two that responded today.

During that period I will ask everyone to confirm their participation in the $100 Prize team event. There will also be a $25 prize for the individual contestant with the best second nine who also participated in the team event so as to encourage those currently at the bottom of the leaderboard.

I did cast caution to the wind on that Turfway race though......sometimes you just gotta go with a longshot, esp. so far when some of our "best intentioned picks" end up scratching.
