msc

I reckon with the month limit and 11 a side, it's far too close to call in most cases.

Number of Uniques per Team Chopped Liver = 9 Young Willz, Charon = 8 Gcreptile = 6 Pedro67,Deathray, The Dead Cow, Rockhopperpenguin, Jiroemon Kimura– 5 MPFC, msc, = 4 SOTD, Chorizo , Switch – 3 Heef - 2 Grim Up nOrth, MorbidKid, Rad Guy, JoeyRuss, garn2 - 1

Yes, but also no. ie Bettencourt, Fernandes, and Kao are all unique so fit the criteria for three points if any of them die in February.

Aye, and - s'cuse the pedantry but - day of death is as per local time (the way it is on most deadpools), right? Take that as read, the points are safe. I was tempted to include a Hewlett Rule ala the Deathrace. One for the future, if there is a future.

A glance around at 2.30am had references to her "dying today" ie the 1st February, given New zealand is about 12 hours ahead of the UK.

So nearly, but so far - I've got his older brother on a DDP team.

A unique hit for my Not the List of the Missed theme team when the obits arrive.

Young Willz Thistle Do Nicely v Captain Chorizo Maryportfuncity FC v Morbid Kid 0-0 The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) v JoeyRuss 0-0 Deathray v Heef 0-2 Chopped Liver v Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 0-0 Shaun of the Dead v Rad Guy 0-0 Charon v The Dead Cow 0-0 The Cooler Name (Switch) v I Might Have to Pull You Off at Half-Time (Rockhopperpenguin) 0-0 Pedro67 v Jiroemon Kimura 0-0 Msc v Gcreptile 0-2 And the Cup starts with a bang, and early leads for Gcreptile and Heef!

1. Unique across the entire cup - ie no other player had them - but only for that round. It resets after each round of the cup. So if, say, you have Jimmy Carter as a unique in Round 1, it's 3 points if he dies. If he doesn't die, and one single person has him in Round 2, it counts as a Round 2 unique. And so on...

He's on Garn2's Death Comes to Wembley, and Switch's Cooler Name. EDIT - These things happen.

It's Kevin Lynn, an obscure musician who might be famous for being ill. You each have one unique, though they both seem to be 2 pointers under the FFBI rule at first glance?

And here is the draw for Round 2 This allows everyone, including those with a bye, to see their path to the Quarterfinals. It follows the route UEFA used to use for the UEFA Cup draws. "The winner of the tie between FK Teplice and Celtic will meet... the winner of FC Barcelona and FC Jobber Team". Fairly obviously, no one is putting teams in for the March games yet. Round 2 (Matches will be played 1st March to the 31st March) Shaun of the Dead or Rad Guy vs Bibliogryphon Charon or The Dead Cow vs Death Impends Deathray or Heef vs Chopped Liver or Garn2 Maryportfuncity or Morbid Kid vs Spade Cooley Young Willz or Captain Chorizo vs Grim Up North or Joey Russ Switch or Rockhopperpenguin vs DDT Deadsox vs Pedro67 or Jiroemon Kimura Roverandout vs msc or gcreptile Some tough deadpooling competition in Rounds 1 and 2 for anyone to reach the Quarterfinals in April, imo.

ONE MORE DEAD NIGHTMARE 3/50 31st January 2017 Former King Crimson bassist John Wetton has died after a long battle with cancer to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist it's third hit of the year. A respected singer/songwriter, Wetton also performed with Asia, Uriah Heep and Roxy Music. His ominous mentions of metastatic cancer on his blog were picked up by eagle-eyed Forumites who ensured he made his debut on this years list, aged 67. With three hits in the first month of the year, it has been a fast start for the 2nd Crowdsourced Deathlist.

All teams are in. So no byes for anyone hoping for a sneaky DQ...

Right, I am mostly incapacitated today with a fucker of a migraine, so will update for Wetton tomorrow most likely. I'm taking 5 mins here and there to check on Deathlist Cup stuff. I believe Wetton will require a whole bunch of subs in play, off the top of my head.

11. Plus a total of 3 subs if you like, but with 9 hours to the deadline, I don't assume they'd all die today!

RIP to him. Oh, and well done to Weebl. We get so many newcomers who just splurge names left right and centre, that we ought to welcome when folk come along with an actual under the radar scoop. Even if yours truly completely failed to take note of it for my main team.

Just the five teams left now, and I've sent the respective folk a friendly reminder about it by PM, in case they don't check this thread. If they don't have a team in by midnight tomorrow (Scottish time), their opponent will advance by default.

Sir Creep, with the due respect, you really ought to start reading the rules for deadpools you enter. Or, if you can't see them, ask a friendly Deathlister for their whereabouts.

Captain Chorizo, Grim, Heef and Garn's teams are in.

Yeah I mean Talksport are shite, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make up "oh just met X today" pics.

WW2 happened, the Missile Crisis happened, Reagan happened, September 11 happened, and folk are still here posting away. The trick is to keep breathing yourself, and the world tends to keep buggering on.

Paul McGill has died, though currently my points rely on convincing Rotten Ali that The Belfast Telegraph is a "reliable respectable source of international news". Hmm, well, I am not in N Ireland, but I read it, and now by posting it here, forum members from the US will read it, making it a source of international news...
