don't ask your question in the middle of a quote as it's kind of hard to see.
I did somehow see it though so i'll answer.


KOTZ is mentioned in the internet-forum FAQ's.

You can just do a search for any thread here with KOTZ in it and you'll get an idea.

The 2005 championship was held this past Thursday night and there was a thread on that too.

The thing is run by emarkm and is a series of private tournament on pokerstars for 2+2'ers run by emarkm.
We have a tourney every 3rd Thursday (although sometimes it's only 2 weeks between tourneys...but it's usually 3).

emarkm just came out with the schedule for next year and it's on his website.

If you want to take part in the next KOTZ you need to PM emarkm and ask for the password. If you give him your e-mail he'll put you on the list and you'll get the password prior to each tourney (which also serves as a reminder that another KOTZ event is coming up).


you can play in how ever many tourneys you want...just one if that's all you want.
For those who play more of them you can acquire points based on your finishes in the tourneys. 1st place and 2nd place at the end of the year are given nice trophies and the champ is the reigning King of the Zoo for the next year (except in the case of our first champion, Lorinda, who was Queen of the Zoo).


Most of the events are hold-em...but we mix it up for fun.
NLHE, PLHE, LHE, 7-card-stud, PLO. and this year evidently there will be a HORSE event too.
There's nothing to worry about if you don't know much about 7-stud or PLO when that's the KOTZ event...because most of your opponents won't know either. I find those to be actually more fun...a bunch of 2+2'ers trying to play this weird game where we all pretty much suck.
