Is the Yahoo Fantasy Golf League considered a fantasy league? It's open to an unlimited number of people.

That one is more of a prediction contest than real fantasy league, right? You just have to pick the golfers for each tourney you think will do the best?


Edit: Found the thread. I recalled correctly, so I added it in. I'm just trying to exclude the contests that have limited entries AND give entrance preference to people that were in last year.

2 different things...

There is a Fantasy Golf League on Yahoo, and then there's the Masters Best Ball contest...the second would be eligible to be listed here, I'd think...
