Do you have any tips or strategy advice you can offer a first time participant?
Absolutely! Be sure you check out our
Strategy & Tips page.
-
Can I have more than one team in a league?
Yes, as long as you pay the $150 league entry fee for each
team. For convenience, you can manage all your teams under a single account (e-mail address). To set your
lineup for a particular team, simply select that team in the drop-down box on the Lineup page.
-
Can I have your league emails go to a second email address?
Yes! You can enter a secondary email address for all communications from the website including weekly lineup
reminders, weekly results, missing lineup reminders, and other emails sent by the league commissioner.
This setting is called the "CC Email" and is great option for participants who share a team or simply
want all website emails sent to a second email address (e.g. work and home). It is important to note that only
the primary email address can be used as the login Id and users CANNOT login within the secondary "CC Email"
address. You can add a "CC Email" address to your profile by clicking on the My Profile link at the
bottom of each page. If you are playing in multiple PTFG leagues, your "CC Email" can be different for each
league. As a result, it must set it in each league. This makes it possible to share a team in one league,
but not another.
-
When are the weekly results posted?
The results are posted shortly after the golfer earnings are made available for each tournament. This is
usually late Sunday evening. Participants can elect to be notified by e-mail once their league results have
been posted. Projected earnings for each team is also posted shortly after rounds 1-3 are completed.
Participants can also be notified via email when those results too.
-
What happens if I can't login or access the site due a problem at my end?
If you are unable to submit your lineup via the site for whatever reason (can't access site, forgot password,
etc.), you may submit your lineup via e-mail. However, any lineup submitted via e-mail must have a timestamp
prior to the lineup deadline or it will not be accepted. Any lineups received via e-mail will be entered in
the system by the commissioner as soon possible. Participants should submit their lineup via e-mail to
Commissioner@philly.ProTourFantasyGolf.com.
-
How do I know my lineup has been received by the system?
There are 3 ways you can confirm your lineup was received by the system:
1) Check the Results page which you should be forwarded to upon submitting your lineup, or
2) Check for a confirmation e-mail, or
3) Check the Lineup page (i.e. go back to it)
On the Results page, you can always see your lineup but no one else's until the lineup deadline passes. You
can determine if someone else has submitted their starting lineup because you'll see "-- XXXXXXXX --" for
each starting golfer. However, you don't get this indication for Sat / Sun subs as it is considered
strategically revealing.
-
Can I change my golfer selections after I submit them?
Yes, you can change your pick(s) as many times as you'd like as long as it's before the lineup deadline.
Each time you submit a lineup, you'll get an e-mail confirming your selection(s).
-
Is there anything I can do to see the lineup deadline times in my own time zone?
Yes, you can configure your preferred time zone by clicking on the "My Profile" link at the bottom of each
page (after you login). Selecting your time zone will cause the lineup deadline times to be displayed in your
local time on the Lineup page as well as in the weekly lineup e-mail reminders.
-
I'm not receiving lineup confirmation e-mails or any other league e-mails.
First make sure you haven't disabled "Email Reminders" via the "My Profile" link at the bottom of each page.
Second, check your spam folder to make sure our e-mails aren't going there. If they are, make sure you've
added
PTFG System
to your address book and safe sender list. For help on updating your safe sender list, you can check out
ExactTarget’s insightful
instructions.
Lastly, it is best to use a personal email as your primary email address as some professional emails and
office
servers may block our mailings.

How come the lineup drop-downs include all golfers instead of just those playing in the upcoming tournament?
We don't have the ability to get real-time updates on who is and wh
o isn't playing a tournament. Plus,
golfers withdraw and get added to tournaments at the very last minute. Therefore, we've put this onus on each
participant and suggest they always check various Internet sources to determine who's playing each week
(e.g. tournament website, golfer news, Vegas odds, etc). We've actually made this very easy by providing you
with links to many of the best sites on our Resources page.
There is also a "Check Field" button on the Lineup page which will take you straight to the player field listing
for the upcoming tournament. For some reason, if you don't see a golfer's name in the lineup drop-down, just
send us an e-mail and we'll get him added as soon as possible. If
it's close to the lineup deadline time, just pick any golfer as a proxy and send us an email indicating the new
golfer you wanted to use. We must receive your e-mail prior to the lineup deadline time.
-
How come the alternate golfer cannot be applied when yo starting golfer drops out after completing all 18
holes in round 1 and prior to the start of the second round?
Checking each team's lineup across all leagues for golfers who did not start, withdrew, or got disqualified
and then updating their lineup with their alternate pick is very complicated and time consuming process.
Fortunately, our system does most of that work. Further complicating the process is that sometimes golfers
may wait until Friday morning to withdraw. Thus, a line in the sand has to be drawn somewhere. So that line is
whether they complete R1 or not as it's cut and dry. In many cases, golfers who withdraw between R1 and R2
have posted a poor R1 score and wouldn't have made the cut anyhow. So allowing a team to use their alternate
pick in this case would not be fair.

How do I change my password?
Simply click on the My Profile link at the bottom of each page after logging in. You can also click
on your user name in the upper right-hand corner to access your profile settings. From there, click on the
Change Password link in the upper left, below the Schedule tab.
