I've forgotten I've entered!

Said it on the Poker Tourney, say it again here. If in doubt about your pick, ask your game runner. It's not as if you generally have a couple of days to enter, generally it's a month. And if you personally rule out a pick, that doesn't mean someone else isn't going to push it. And I don't care how late you submit, I'll still rule a pick unacceptable if it doesn't conform to the rules. So run the risk of having a pick ruled out, or just PM the runner for clarification? I kinda know the players who do and who don't. Crikey, I've won little to nowt on here, all I have ever done was a bit of gentle teasing, but no rage from me. Because you never know, these games can turn on the turn of an hour.

Right, so welcome to new entrants to the leaderboard Clorox Bleachman, RadGuy and defending Champ Death Impends. Captain Chorizo hits a Joker and extends his lead. Amazingly, out of 4 hits, he's had 3 of them. Bonuses: gcreptile makes a Pair of 9s - 10 Additional Points Joey Russ makes a pair of 8s - 10 Additional Points. Knowing when to convert your Joker if you have one, now becomes part of the game if you have more than one card, in order to perhaps make a bonus hand. Remember, conversion must take place during the game.

You know the world is crazy when the sometime fastest man in the world can't obit last year, and some official from Indonesia who happened to be a viral social media celeb obits in mere hours. Anyway, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho gets his Daily Mail obit and that's not a disaster for several teams. Updated Leaderboard to follow.

Late night for Clive James. It's time.

Various reports on Twitterboard that DDP Pick Leon Kossoff has died. Awaiting the usual, if true.

With McCririck's death, it's hits a-plenty. Captain Chorizo becomes the first player to get two hits and takes an early lead. Grim Up North gains a Joker hit, and Sean, The Old Crem, theoldlady, Toast and Torva Messor all place. Where is our two time champion? Leaderboard updated.

McCririck for me, mwahahahahaha.

I didn't have McCririck here...did you?

No no Committee, you don't get away from me that easily. I predicted you'd pick McCririck, so it's tied still: YW - 5; DL - 5

John McCririck was a Joker for me on this pool and now he dead.

Second hit here with John McCririck: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/jul/05/flamboyant-horse-racing-pundit-john-mccririck-dies-aged-79
