I’ll spoil this unofficially. First unofficial hit was Saleh al-Arouri.

He definitely did die. Saw it after I sent my AO team in. So prior to Jan 1. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0QHLYxRwf2qWmg3W4uWHrbyfBDeeTkEw87sTPGD7kaD6axVRHZ3HXroga41Zvrb3dl&id=100052363980297

I mean on my end it is, but it’s easy enough as a fix however time consuming. The bigger issue lies with people complaining about issues with their teams that are their own fault. I make my own fair share of mistakes, but I don’t understand why people are going out of their own way to mess with what was specifically designed to make this as easy as possible.

Ill use this as an example of what not to do. Please don’t move the joker designator and please do put your joker in the top cell. This spreadsheet is set up to so that I can copy and paste straight into the entry file.

Should be noted that I'm still working on entering teams, so just because somebody has posted their teams does not mean everyone they submitted was accepted. Nobody has been notified of any specific disqualifications unless you had so many that you required more subs.

I'd like to coin a new term here as the Robert Zimmer rule. If the health news of a fringe pick gets picked up by Yahoo, the news of their death will eventually. A la James Fanale et Sean Wallace. That being said, I have 80/20 confidence Wallace obits and the opposite for Fanale.

The ddp2024@ email doesn’t exist. It says in the email to send it to ddp@ so there really shouldn’t be any confusion.

@gcreptile Salmon Mousse just took up the last remaining space in your inbox. Can't submit atm.

Uh oh we got the fucking bigot gatekeeper here better watch out folks.

Dw misspelling celebrity names and your own team names are much bigger faux pas

Surely a working actor since the 60s with a bunch of small credits in big productions is not "one of the most obscure hits of the year"

Ok email has been sent. Once again apologies to the few who received multiple emails. Officially official that 2024 is commenced.

Yea oops lol Figuring shit out. Some of yall will be getting multiple emails. My apologies.

another...

Former Wisconsin Badger and presumed 2024 DDP pick for myself, Walt McGrory has passed away after his battle with osteosarcoma. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/former-wisconsin-badgers-basketball-player-144237203.html

Dunno if anyone else caught this, but as going through my list found that Cup pick Thomas Maniscalco died in October. https://obits.ocregister.com/us/obituaries/orangecounty/name/tom-maniscalco-obituary?id=53259248

No idea wtf is going on in this case. Hadn't her cancer always been in her bones? I'm like 95% positive that her stage 4 diagnosis was due to the spread reaching her bones. The brain spread was new, but I don't understand how this is news unless it's a further spread or that the spread was removed and returned.

Same thing happens as with premature joker deaths. I will get in contact with any teams that need replacements in the off chance that 4 or more members perish prematurely. This is why it is strongly urged to send in 3 subs.

All uk.(whatever).yahoo.com links can be changed to uk.news.yahoo.com (to my knowledge) so any uk.(whatever).yahoo.com link should be acceptable.

Yes, go ahead. Please just specify your team name in the email. For reference for all other players, I will do my best to get into contact with you if your joker dies prematurely for a replacement. If I do not receive any response the next highest pick becomes your joker.
