- Rather than take their time to develop a real strategy, Hootie kind of went all LLEEEROOOYYYY JEEENNNNKINS the first week and lost 2/3rds of what they started with.
- At some point, other members get pissed that Hootie's just doing it all rather than cooperating and boot him out of a leadership role. He also broke some sort of rule that everyone agreed upon from the beginning about not submitting lineups outside the group.
- Hootie posts this thread in the Lounge to complain about it. Somewhere in here, Hootie is also a dick to Flopnuts to the point that he gets banned for the 5719th time. There was some other drama here involving the same crap he was banned for years ago, but it's all a bit fuzzy what really went down.

As to the third item, Hootie not cooperating was just a minor annoyance compared to everything else. The main cause that led to the meltdown was that Hootie had received some free entries into the big tournament and said he was going to play them, which violated our #1 rule that your own picks can't compete against or mirror the group's picks in the same tourney. A rule that he himself came up with and he himself demanded. So he was called out on it and instead of having a discussion, he absolutely melted down. It was spectacular. Hootie gonna Hootie.
