Loser of the Week invitation went out yesterday. If you didn’t get an invite let me know so I can check my mailing list. We are starting week 8 (Oct 31st) so sign up soon!

 

10/2/2004

Picks are up for week 4. Next week, Jenny & I will both be out of town Friday and Saturday. I will try to update the web from the road, but it is possible that it won't get updated until sunday. If we can't get the web updated before gametime, we'll at least send out an email with the total picks on each team. Also, many people have asked, and yes, the Loser of the Week Pool is coming soon, probably week 7 or 8. We’ll send out a signup invitation in a week or so.

9/14/2004

75 down in week 1! Congrats to the survivors!

 

9/13/2004 7:30pm

Looks like we will end up with 363 players. We found one more signup that did not get their pick in in time, so they will get GBA in tonite’s game. So far we are down 69 players and will lose either 6 or 7 more tonite.

 

9/11/2004

8pm

We are posting the picks. We have 362 players this year, just a few players short of where we were last year.

Last year we had two extra weeks to recruit since we postponed the start until week 3 at the last minute due to Wubba’s husband’s aneurism, which occurred week 1 Friday. At this time on week 1 Saturday, the docs were only giving him a 50% chance to make it. Now, one year later, I couldn’t be happier to report that John has made pretty much a complete recovery!

This week’s picks have over 220 picks on 2 teams, with 21 other teams getting the other 140 picks. There are several games where people picked both sides, so for at least a few of you, this is goodbye. ;)

The picksheet is under the current week koth picks link above. Good luck!

1:30pm

Here’s the current situation. With the NFL moving a game to 1pm today, it has put a big squeeze on us to get this all organized prior to gametime. We have 7 people who have picked TEN, but we are still going thru the email and getting the sheet ready to post to the web. If any more picks come in timestamped after 1pm, they will not be able to choose the Saturday game. We will post the full picklist later today or Sunday morning. Looks like we will have between 358 and 362 players. There are a few people who were submitted by others as wanting to play, but who we did not get picks from. We’re in the process of contacting the people who submitted them to see if they turned in pix to them, don’t want in, or want in but will miss week 1 and get GBA as the default..

Rules to Remember:

 

* Each week you pick one NFL team to win.

 

* All picks must be in by 5pm Eastern on Fridays. If you miss the deadline, you automatically get the Monday Night visitor. During the playoffs, if you miss the deadline, you get the team that is the underdog by the most points in Friday’s USA Today. In case of a tie, we use the game with the latest start time.

 

* Thursday games are not eligible for picking.

 

* To remain alive you must pick a winning team (ties are NOT a win).

 

* Submit picks to Wubba & Zathras.

History of the KOTH

The King of the Hill pool was started in 1998, with a mere 20 players. Four years later, we had 10 times that many participating! In 1999 we had a lot of folks out early, who needed another fix. So we launched a “Loser of the Week” pool in week 5- basically another King of the Hill pool- same rules but with one twist: pick a LOSING team! A win or tie and you are out. Missed picks get the Monday nite HOME team.

Every year since, around week 5-8, we have fired up the Loser Pool. It’s not a requirement to be eliminated from the KOTH (or even to have played) to get into the Loser Pool.

 

Previous KOTH pools

1998: 20 players, won by Bill Washburn

1999: 67 players, won by Annie Davis in week 14

2000: 123 players, won by Steve Omer after the wildcard games

2001: 169 players, won by Bill Guiney in week 7

2002: 201 players, split by Bill Ruddy, Jason Lonsbury, and Nick Dunlevy

2003: 371 players, partial 4 way split between Justen Strausbach, Scott Vess, Kevin Oliff, and John Knipfer. John Knipfer wins overall.

2004: 363 players…. Winner: 2 way tie between Super Fan Sue and Lisa Gutwein.

 

Previous LOTW pools

1999: 49 players, started in week 5 and split by George Creech & Dana Strehle in week 15

2000: 48 players, started in week 8 and split by Dave Hart & Chau Du after the wildcard games

2001: 47 players, started in week 5 and won by Dave Wheeler in week 10

2002: 71 players, started in week 5 and split by Amber Dunlevy and Brendan Oborne in week 15

2003: 106 players, started in week 8 and won by Jeff Dana in week 17

2004: 150 players, starting week 8. A 5 way tie all the way thru the superbowl.
