    First off, I'd be down at the O'Connell Center, waiting for Donovan to appear and then locking him in there indefinitely.

    I'll have something put together shortly. Thanks for your patience!

    My apologies, my DSL connection crapped out right after the last post. (Quick side rant -- If you ever move into an area that has Insight Communications for cable and modem, get a dish for TV and a broadband Internet card from a cell company for the Internet. Trust me on this.)

    OK, here are the rules.

    1. Pick the starters from above as stated. You may pick up to two alternates, but only one alternate can come from Group I.

    2. Scoring -- is aggregate total of your four starters. If a starter has to withdraw, is disqualified or misses the cut, then your first alternate replaces him. If the alternate comes in via a DQ or WD, he enters that same round. If he comes in due to a missed cut, he comes in starting with the third round.

    3. Tiebreakers -- rank your starting four as you wish, first flight through fourth flight. In case of a tie, I'll knock out anyone who has tapped an alternate. After that, I'll compare golfers at each flight to determine a winner.

    4. Selections are due by 8 a.m. EDT Thurdsay morning.

    5. Questions? IM me, don't post them here.
