I was also considering him as a joker for a cup, although I was (rightly) afraid he's not going to make it till March.

Wow, I would have gotten three hits (Diamond, Spinks, Davies) so far. At least I start feeling like I deserve my place in the second round.
-
I would have gotten a strong start if I was participating in this round. Now I'm a bit annoyed.

6 hours ago, Joey Russ said:Well, the time has come. Congratulations to Annami and Perhaps. Both of you will compete in round 2 and I apologize that you had to spend time getting a team together for naught.
It feels a bit like cheating to get into the second round this way, but at least I don't need to feel bad anymore for submitting my team before the latest news on Tom Moore.
Good luck for all the competitors!- 1

Alexi Laiho, a singer of Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, has passed away. He would give me 40 points (he also died as 41-year old, so I'm not sure if some of the previous hits has been even younger), but I have no idea if he's getting a QO. I think he might since Children of Bodom has been doing well also outside of Finland, but then again he also might not. Everything I've been able to find so far is in Finnish.
-
My first sub Alexi Laiho, a vocalist of Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, has died. No points for me though since he's only one of my subs and I'm not sure if he even gets QO (I didn't find anything about this in English yet, but it's all over the Finnish newspapers).

EDIT. I forgot a joker, so I chose one.- 1

The first time I checked mine and I still found some errors:
I'm getting +4 for Bob Dole although my list and DL has him in the same position (4th), shouldn't it be +10 then?
Dick van Dyke is also giving me +4 although there's only 2 positions difference between my list and DL (in mine 5th and in DL 3rd), so it's +5, right?
Same with Emperor Akihito (6th in mine and 5th in DL), so it should be +5 instead of +4.And with Murray Walker (7th in mine and 9th in DL, so I think it's +5 instead of +4.
There is also a mistake with Shannen Doherty since she's in 48th in mine and 49th in DL, so I should be given +5 +3 instead of +10 +3.
My score should be 96 with these corrections. Sorry, @Book.

Congrats for Vaagheid! I have to say I'm pretty proud of my score since this was the first time I participated and I was expecting to do much worse.

I needed to edit my list since I understood the rules incorrectly at first. I know I posted my edited list some minutes before Yvonne (I refreshed the page and there were no new comments), but there's probably no way to confirm that now since I just edited my old comment and didn't write a new one. I didn't realize I should have, so it was my mistake.
Due to my mistake, it might be fair I would be the one editing my list again, but I don't really have energy for that now, so if that's the case, I think I will just drop out of the first round -
