DGA is excited to bring you the official Pick'em Bracket for the Players Cup World Match Play Championship. As in NCAA College Basketball, the bracket, and picking winners (upsets or not) is what makes the event so exciting to those of us watching from home. The same holds true with Match Play disc golf. Every shot matters. If you are not on your "A" game, a lower seed player can snatch a win away from a higher seed. Being able to pick these "upsets" can make for great bragging rights with your friends and, in the case of this event, win you cool prizes. Do you have what it takes to be a Pick'em god?

The 2011 Players Cup Pick�em Bracket (http://www.pdga.com/2011-players-cup-pickem-bracket-live) is now live and ready for your predictions. It's totally free. Make your picks and brag to your friends (http://www.mysideline.com/u/20084/matchplay/default.htm)!!!

I made my picks a couple days ago. I picked Anthon vs Doss in the finals now it shows that Anthon would play Doss in the Quarters. Why has it changed.

We are not sure what the software did, but it was clearly a quadrant mapping error. The software defaulted to Quadrant 1 vs Quadrant 2, which we changed to Quadrant 1 vs Quadrant 4 (since the overall #1 seed - Nate Doss should not face the overall #2 seed - Nikko Locastro until the finals, in my opinion).

At some point during an upload, the system switched back to the default and we did not catch it until the upload last night. All is working correctly now and we will continue to monitor it each time we upload (which happens basically each night after work).

Sorry for the confusion. If you have any doubts as to whether your picks are correctly mapped in our system, I would suggest resubmitting them.

Reviewed the Crown yesterday..........The course is very demanding of all your shots and is the the best match play course I have played. The match-up can go either way and doesn't favor any certain shot.
Lots of work has been done to the courseS and the club house. The player will be the VIP. The Parks have puTT alot into making sure the player and the gallery will be well treated.

We also have a $5 pickem bracket going- for info or to sign up, www.iregisteredonline.com

Um, this is a bit awkward, but Josh Anthon just called and he is not going to make it. Cameron Colglazier emailed with the same news (but it probably affects the bracket a bit less).

Val Jenkins takes Josh's spot (yes, she is the #1 seed in the DGA Quadrant).
Michael Distad takes Cameron's spot.

We'll have the bracket corrected tonight. We will use the last pick set entered per email address. Sooo, if you picked Josh to win, you are now picking Val to win.

The 2011 Player's Cup Pick' Em Bracket is full! :(

Apparently our license with the software maker allows us only 999 entries, and we've reached that number. Our deadline was 10/21 @ 8:00 AM, so we are cutting off entries only about nine hours early anyway.

Folks that have already submitted entries can still update their picks before the deadline, but the software won't allow any more new ones.

Thanks to everyone who participated and good luck! :cool:
