SwellInfo Crew Fantasy Surfer 2014!

The heat draw is making picking a team difficult at the least.

---------------------------

I wanted to clarify something in regards to the buy-in prize contest: When I stated one user name per entry, I mean one Fantasy Surfer user name per entry. I mentioned I have a same team all year account and am buying into the contest for both.

So, if you have enough time on your hands to handle 15 teams I encourage you to buy in for each!

njsurfer42: I think Owen will be this year's Nat Young as far as increasing value goes. That vid series has me hoping he can hold steady and stay healthy all year.

I just joined the club and was number 79. It definitely makes these events a little more interesting to watch. Don't know what entry fee was decided on but the more the merrier. 10 bucks to win $800 sounds good to me! Guess I'll PM you to find out.

Entry is $5. If we have a strong enough turnout this year I think we can do the leaguesafe next year, but iirc they have a $10 buy-in minimum. Didn't want to scare too many people away with too high a buy-in while we're testing the waters and I need to do some more research to see how to work out paying for a prize through that site--they predominantly handle cash payouts as far as I can tell.... but I guess cash payouts are cool too!

Yep, there is a lot more uncertainty of how and what will be judged. It's almost keeping me from picking anyone "old."

there are certain guys i'm confident w/ & won't touch unless they totally **** the bed. but there's enough fresh talent at the lower end to make things interesting...wright is a wildcard, like you said. his comeback could go either direction; world champion challenger or back to the 'qs. mitch crews has proven himself to be a darkhorse/ruiner of dreams & could climb the ranks quickly like seabass did last year. there are more guys i'd like to put on my team this year than there were last year. i feel like it was pretty simple last year...there were x number of guys who you could rely on to do well in each contest & everyone else was pretty much there to get beaten. there was the odd exception & upset, like otten randomly winning an event or wilko having the event of his life, but that's how it generally played out. i feel like there's much more competitive talent & uncertainty on tour this year. we'll see what happens.

Dude, you really did find a keeper!

Another Tidbit of Info

You can keep shuffling your team around until the first heat of the first round of the contest starts. Some people initially get confused between the start of the contest waiting period and the actual start of the contest. Your team will be locked in when the contest actually starts.

I picked a men's and women's team. Is our club scoring based solely on the men's ASP results or are the women's results considered as well? If the women are included, is there a bonus awarded for team with the smallest bikinis?

LOL, maybe next year. This year the WTO will be based only on the men's mainly because I need to develop a good system for keeping track of all this.

Of course the bragging rights contest includes the women as well. This year I started a same team all year account that includes the women's tour, there's a club you can join to win a t-shirt if you come out on top. So, if you need some more excitement I suggest that!

BTW---Looks like the WILL be running Snapper today. The call should come around 2:30-3pm EST, so everyone get your teams locked!

I'm in, I have no idea what my name is but whatever, old account from back in the day. Looking forward to playing again

252surfer · Feb 28, 2014

I'm all for finishing on top of the entire women's tour if you know what I mean...
