    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    When I said 'Still unofficial as a hit, but Billboard did come through', what I meant was I hadn't yet heard back from Hulka and, as such, the hit was still considered as not yet having counted. I knew the Billboard mention would be good as a source and it would count, it just hadn't yet been processed in the deadpool.

    As is the case with many others, I have Andrew McGahan in the deadpool. He'll be worth 14 points from everyone who selected him, once a QO comes down the wire. Edit: Sent off the Sydney Morning Herald obit, which will be sufficient for the hit to score.
