It's a new year, and that means a new Joker's Dead Pool... or summat. Joey Russ has retired after hosting this competition for 2 years, leaving me as your new host.
Here's what you need to know:
In the post below, there is a list of names which were chosen as 'jokers' in the DDP.
Choose up to 50 of these names, as well as 5 subs.
Each hit is worth 1 point.
Nominate five of them as your wildcards. Those people will gain double points.
PM your team to the host or post it in this thread.
Point-scoring in this pool is highly dependent on bonuses. Those bonuses include:
5 points for party poopers (birthday/Christmas deaths).
3 points for hits who:
are Drop 40 picks
are unique DDP picks
die unnaturally
2 points for hits on the 13th day of a month.
1 extra point for hits at certain spots on your list. Which spots they are, however, are hidden until they are scored.
There is also an extensive set of bonuses which are hidden from players. We love a bit of mystery to mix things up
As the host is aware of these secret bonuses, he will enter a non-competitive team.
DDP obituary requirements. A non-obit equals zero points.
Entries are now open. You have until 23:59 GMT on the 28th of January to submit your entries. After this deadline, the competition is underway until the end of 2019.
Good luck to all!
