Congrats to Bou on a great Cinderella run throughout the tourney, congrats to those who got Squonked, I'd like to thank Google News and my girlfriend writing a thesis leaving me with a lot of spare time at weekends to research. And fuck me, I have the taste of blood ready for DDP 2k20 now.

And so the biggest Cup to date ends! We've had surprises, we had thrillers, we have giant killing runs (kudos Bou!) but in the end, the 2019 Deathlist Cup goes to SPADE COOLEY! You may all congratulate him. And that's us done! Thanks for enjoying/enduring...

I'm almost as proud of my 82 (?) day run of no hits as I am of being in the final without a crushing defeat, although there's no shame in that v @Spade_Cooley Congratulations to the winner and many thanks to @msc for all his hard work, to @Sir Creep for advice and encouragement, and to everyone else who took part. It was fun!

Depending on timing, then the last 3 DDP hosts have all wound up with girlfriends while hosting. An added job perk for any singles on here querying the role?

Unfortunately still not how this pool works

And now it’s time to prepare to be brutally defeated in the DDP compete with him in the DDP again.

I like Billie Eilish for how unashamedly different she is. And this here is...terrifying, actually, but interesting. It works.

Had to do a double take on tonight's score. FORT 5-2 Nairn HUZZA. 'Mon the Fort.

You may find it the opposite and I apologise in advance if that is so. I figured this would help with scoring but that too may be backward thinking. I guess we shall see once this thing gets going, which given the names should be less than a week (are you listening, Randy Romero?). Obviously if I have posted a name in error, please let me know. I will try to update every couple of weeks, or as necessary if we have a particularly large amount of carnage or vice versa. I hope to keep up but DO throw me a bone if you someone has slipped through the cracks. Thanks for playing and best of luck to all! SirC

Somebody on here has a girlfriend?

Great win Spade and a great competition msc. I look forward to getting trounced again in 2020.

And I had Juliette Kaplan, not Lee Kerslake. Somehow you got us mixed up?

I had Lee Kerslake for K, not Juliette Kaplan

Congratulations to Spade Cooley, clearly the cream of the crop in Cup play 2019. Bravo!

Congratulations to Spade on a run well played!

Congratuwelldone Spade! An encyclopaedic knowledge of flat-liners like that, no one else had a vague hope. Hearty round of applause to Bou for a frankly astounding debut season in the Cup. No hits record AND worthy finalist? Quite an achievement. And, of course, hats off to the inimitable msc on some top bollock hosting skillz. See you fuckers in the 2020 final!

Bin Laden's son

Well that''s what I call bad luck. But highlights how important is to keep tabs on the more obscure picks the host might miss! That Bou, setting all sorts of new records. 99% sure that's the first time the universal deadpool rule of "host actually needs to see the obit" has done for someone in the Cup.

Happy 72nd birthday Arnie

I love Mama Cass! Great performer!
