LoD round one losers TRASH side challenge

This raises an interesting question: this "challenge" is for those who LOSE, right? So does this mean the ultimate "winner" is the one who LOSES every bracket? Or is it just a do-over for first-round losers, with the "winner" being the one amongst the first round losers who fails to lose the rest of the way?

And where is sneezy-the-fearless-LOD-leader in this thread?

Good point that I thought of myself this morning! imho 'this' losers LoD would be like the UEFA cup where the first round losers of the Champions league get pushed into UEFA so the aim would be to win from now on. That said some bright spark might come up with a Die another losers Challenge and eventually we'd have the true losers champ ;)

lol, maybe ;) however I seem to raise my game just a little in H2H's (especially with such severe penalties) so you'd best be on form! 2008 will reveal my true skills with a camera :)

I would participate in a losers bracket, but I would not want to run it (and take attention away from the LoD). If Ecce wants to set up a bracket, I'm all good with that. One problem is knowing which losers are entering the next week. Technically they all should be, but that might not happen.

Hmmm, maybe I took a little too much single Malt for my cold when I did this last night. I agree all losers 'should' be in (terms of the 'proper' LoD) and apologise if you think this takes anything away from it? Was meant as a little fun but would be happy to totally change the name?

Was thinking any 'substitutes' we may need could be gleaned from those that show interest and will have a shot in, something to think about when I'm out shooting tomorrow.

In a weird way I was glad when

Falc beat me in round one of the 'real' LoD as my entry in river/stream is sinking fast :(

Here is round 2 of Die Another Challenge and remember, to progress to round 3 the aim is to win this week ;)

oh, and please let me know if you don't have a shot in this week.

Let's just say that the next 44 voters were even friendlier. :)

No competition from me then, however I may brush up on my trash talk ready for the MAK V Ecce HTH - he is going to fall so from from his pedastal :)

Hey Andi,

Did you need a sub? I was wondering if anyone dropped out or not and if so who I was facing?

Thanks

I am seeing this thread for the very first time right now.

I do not have a S&R entry, so let someone have my spot.

Hey, are we still doing this? I didn't have any genius ideas for Six, but I managed to get in a shot that's sitting below 5. :)

Never mind Mr Bear, I voted yours the highest of the top 3!

Not sure if everyone saw this so guess the byes are expected.

Think I got the results correctly.

Now I got to take some birds! My Six shot is in. scoring around 6.5, so maybe I have a chance against the good doc.

CRAP!!! How did I miss this one! Sorry guys, I didn't get in on Rivers and Streams. Lack of places to shoot as well as some exciting news (to be revealed later) has had me a bit preoccupied lately.

Could be close. :) I'm sitting 6.6. I'm looking forward to trying out the 300mm in birds.

Man I'm such the loser. I didn't even see this thread so I didn't enter Six. Is there a loser's loser's bracket?
