With the ASP season opener, The Quiksilver Pro at snapper rocks just a little over 1 week away, I thought now would be a good time to remind everyone about Fantasy Surfer. It is like fantasy football, but it is based on ASP Dream tour surfing.
I have also created a fantasy league for the Donkey Patrol, so that we can compete against one another. Fantasy Surfer calls these leagues “Clubhouses”. The league is public and is called “Donkey Patrol 2009” the codeword for the league is “donkey”. You can join the league after you sign up for Fantasy Surfer. Donkeypatrol.com is offering $20 usd and year long bragging rights to the 2009 season winner. If we get a good size group to play, we can discuss a small league buy in to increase the pot.
Object

How to play
Each owner will have $50,000,000 in fantasy money to draft his/her surfing team, buying surfers who are valued according to their current rankings and projected performance in the 2009 WCT surfing events.
Trading
PICKING YOUR 8 SURFERS – Each team owner can draft up to 8 surfers without exceeding their $50,000,000 salary cap. Before each event, a surfer values may increase or decrease, but the cost against your salary cap is the cost when you added your surfer.
Surfer values can change throughout the 2009 WCT schedule.
MAKING TRADES – After each event of the Challenge, each owner will be permitted to make trades before the next event starts. The owner can make as many changes as he/she wants before the next event provided that after each trade the following is true: the cumulative dollar value of the surfers at the time they were added does not exceed the $50,000,000 salary cap.
NO TRADING WINDOW – All trading will be closed at the start of the 1st heat and open again at the end of that event. In other words, trading is disabled when the actual event is being contested.
Point Scoring
Surfer points are based on the number of competitors they defeat and their finishing position in each of the actual WCT surfing events. All 48 competitors ( top 44, plus wild cards) will score between 0-150 points. Whenever one of your surfers scores points, your team scores points. Obviously, the more points your team scores for each event, the better. Each team will be awarded the cumulative total points for the 8 surfers selected for the current WCT event. Picking the top 8 finishers in order will yield a perfect score of 1,000 points.
Here’s the formula:

24….81 |
32….73 |
40….8 |
48….0 |
Only the top 47 positions yield points. 0 points are given for surfers not ranking in the top 47.
The Fantasysurfer scoring is set up so the surfers all finish the event with an individual placing. For example, if you have one of the 16 surfers on your team who lost in the second round but had the highest point total for that round he gets the points for 33rd place (15 points). The surfer who has the next highest total score from round two gets 34th place all the way down to 48th place.
TIES WILL BE BROKEN AFTER EACH EVENT by comparing each owner’s top scoring surfer for the event just completed. If the tie is still not broken, this process continues with the second top scoring surfer and so forth down the team until the tie is broken. If the two tied winners have the exact same scores for all 8 of their surfers then their total event-to-date points will be used to break the tie. If they are still tied after this, then the participant with the highest current balance in his/her cash account will win. After that, any prizes will be split.
YOUR TEAM’S OVERALL STANDING will be determined by adding up your team scores for each event. The overall winner of the Fantasy Surfing Challenge is the team that accumulates the highest fantasy points for the best eight events.
