I am awake and my eagle eyes spotted a different boo-boo. It was Ella Jenkins, not Elaine May, that died 24 hours later.........but I do love your summary!!

June and Ella, 2 hits in 2 days . . . .that's gotta be worth something good!

Updated through June Spencer . . . . . .

Been quiet. Let's hear it for Diego for breaking the silence. 1 point for Dub Jones. Leaders are not feeling threatened as of yet . . . .

Teams posted on page 1, scoring table coming . . . .

As I collate and post, I note gcreptile has maybe the most questionable names on his list. Here are my rulings on his most obscure names.... Fisk - absolutely acceptable, but my research show he passed in 2020. If so, that's on you, so keep the name but no score there. Mathers - she's the rapper's mom, but if not, she's a nobody . . . disallowed. Valentine-Morton - my first searches yielded story headlines like "Brighton Man w terminal cancer . . . . and "Theater lover w cancer raises money for . . . . We can do better, sir. Disallowed. Worthington - acceptable, and dead. well done.

Ruth Johnson Colvin on August 18, and Kris Kristofferson on Sep 28. Here I come . . .

After rechecking several of the upper echelon scores and adding the unreported players to the leaderboard, I now get only 49 pts for you gc. Here is my breakdown, please confirm or show me where I went wrong . . . hits at: B 4 WS, F 3, G 3 duo, I 5 WS, J 3 WS, K 4 WS and duo, O 3, Q 7 solo, R 3 WS, U 3, V 2, Y 3, Z 6 WS = 49 pts. I had given you 2 extra points at G for some reason. So the leaderboard is updated to this total, for now.

This is the last day for scoring on this pool! With corrections needed to gcreptile's score, he has taken a comfortable lead and looks like our champion. But I am going to leave the final decision open for another week to allow all of you to double check for more omissions/errors in the scoring table. I will also post scores for the 4 unlisted players in the next few days whether they check in or not. Note again that I have a thread started for next season's game and entries are due in 10 days. Please recheck the rules at the start of the thread for minor rule changes! Enjoy!

This is a fantastic help. That's why I asked for the self scoring. I have verified all your notes and will credit you the points.....thank you! I had not QO'd you at Q, which was worth 7 points alone due to the solo. You were also only a hit at A away from earning a legitimate (second tier using the Y) vowel movement bonus~!

Looks like Wayne Eddy has passed. Surely a radio legend in his part of Minnesota, but is a blip on the radar anywhere else? Hoping for some help on a QO........

I have your hits scored up to date for a total of 36 pts and a contender very late in the game!

I had included all your hits in the table, but missed 3 pts for your solo of Paige. Also, with the missed obit at Q, your scored hits are 10 not 11. Corrections made and it did move you up one place in the standings!

My scoring table has already included credit for MacGowan, and also Field at the F spot, for 3 total hits and 11 pts.
