Recently I've been playing a lot of disc golf, and when the weather is bad, watching a lot of pro disc golf coverage.
I was also part of the team at ESPN.com that built fantasy baseball and other fantasy sports games back in the 90s.
So I figured, why not put my experience building fantasy games together with my enjoyment of disc golf.
And that's how FDGA.club came to be, I hope you enjoy it!
The process for the game is:
-
Join a league with friends or strangers. The default limit is 10 teams in a league.
-
Whoever created the league will have picked a draft time. At that time, the draft order will be set randomly, and a snake draft will begin.
When it's your team's turn to draft, just click the "Available Players" link, filter and sort until you decide, then click the "Add" button.
There's a 5 minute limit per pick, and a default selection will be made if you time out. The draft is over when each team has 10 players.
- All Elite Series, Silver series, and Major tournaments are included in our tournament schedule.
-
Both MPO and FPO players on your team at the time each tournament starts will earn points for the following:
- Best score in a round (1 point)
- Winning tournament (10 points)
- 2nd place (7 points)
- 3rd place (5 points)
- 4th place (3 points)
- 5th place (2 points)
- 6th-10th place (1 point)
On the players page, you can see how many points each player had last season (this is also the default sort order).
- After the draft you can drop players, to free up room for free agents.
- At the end of the season, the team with the most points wins the league!
Things I haven't added yet, but hope to hope to before long:
- A more interactive draft, maybe even an auction draft.
- A way to trade players.
- A bench, to hold players that are skipping a tournament, but you don't want to drop.
- Customization! Including league size, team size, player universe, scoring system, and more.
Known bugs
- Whenever I deploy code, it will require you to log in again. Sorry about that.
