"Reyes who arrived early yesterday on a Philippine Airlines flight told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that prior to the "King of the Hill" finals against American ace Mike Sigel last December he signed a contract to defend his title in case won. Reyes won the title and the top prize of $200,000 routing Sigel in straight sets 8-0, 8-5 in a match telecast over RPN 9. "

This is from AZBilliards. If he's under contract to defend his KOH title does that mean he is already seeded to finals and it has nothing to do with the top money maker?

I believe that is correct. atleast that is the way it was done for Mr Sigel last year. So why not just do it that way again for the reigning KOTH. Only fair after all.....................mike
 
Reporters regularly make mistakes in the way they pick up what has been said or in the way they then report it.This is clearly an example of such a mistake.

Reyes is in fact already assured of being King of The Hill 2006 but it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with him having been King of The Hill 2005,it is because he already has a lead in the 2006 money list which cannot possibly be overtaken.After each years King of The Hill final the "King" to all intents and purposes,more or less immediately becomes history as far as any future entitlements go.

Therefore the information isn't in any way correct and the comparison with the MIke Sigel situation is not entirely relevant,it having been a one-off situation being the first season and a very short one at that.

Frankly it is astonishing that lots of new forums repeatedly appear to illustrate a continued misunderstanding by site members over how The King of The Hill rules work......obviously IPT's communications and explanations of this on their website must be difficult for some to grasp:)

It was $250,000 and the scores were 8-0 and 8-4.
