Prince Philip replaces Ed Battle in the Kiltrunner's team, as it was submitted before the death was publicly revealed. Blessing in disguise, I guess!

Well, David Stern is the first DDP hit of the year it seems, on my B-team, but for some reason, not on my Deathrace team. GUN is working hard on entering the late submitted teams. Then the scoring process begins.

for a first team, it's very good. Edit: And good in general.

Yes, congratulations TomTom! Pleased with my performance, I mean I got a couple ones right, including new names. I thought it might be close to victory, but oh well, quite the gap indeed!

Alright, the vault, feel free to use it: DDP leftovers: Mark Allen Sacheen Littlefeather Harry Reid Patrick Wymer died Jan 25th Joe Hammond died already in December Michael Falzon Greg Gilbert Peter Bonetti Nick Philippoussis Nobby Stiles Richard Mills Eddie Van Halen Lata Mangeshkar Fred Jarvis Sir Peter Jonas Dewayne Johnson Howard Sattler Harry Mockett Sean Dorney Gary Talbot died already in December George Alagiah Lollie Todd Bob Dole Tom Long dead on January 4th Joe Krebs Richard Stayskal AO Deadpool leftovers: Matt Loede Jamie Frierson (Broadway Bandit) Elizabeth Lee Wurtzel died on Jan 7th Paravai Muniyamma Sacheen Littlefeather Luke Halpin Artie Lange Jimmy Greaves Gary Bigeni Muroi Yuzuki Bill Turnbull Ian Holm Michael Falzon David Stern Kit Culkin Samula Anoa'i Sean McDonnell Mama Bruschetta Bruno Covas David Santalla Jack Vreeswijk Joe Krebs Greg Gilbert Vasily Kulkov Tabare Vasquez Michael Robinson Pawel Krolikowski Gavin Robertson Bill Freehan Howard Sattler And I didn't dare to pick Karen Simpson of the Royal Bury Theatre for anything but the Hare's.

The Masterlist is up. We have 35 teams, which is 5 more than last time. I am still waiting for some replies to my queries, so I regard it as only 99% complete. Hopefully, there will be no more ambiguity among the submitted names. I already had some questions, there might be more incoming... But a big thanks to all for not making me veto any picks. They all look okay, or at least okay enough. Edit: Jokers are in bold. And my team is revealed name for name in the old XXXXX-ed post.

I'll be going with this for my 2020 shadow list: Shadow List 1 Genesis P-Orridge 26 Josu Ternera 2 John Lewis 27 Vicente Fernandez 3 Dennis Skinner 28 Peter Bonetti 4 Chris Doleman 29 Nobby Stiles 5 Ian Holm 30 Jimmy Greaves 6 Prince Philip 31 Ian St. John 7 Mikhail Gorbachev 32 Doris Payne 8 Jimmy Carter 33 Rosalynn Carter 9 Michael McKevitt 34 Larry King 10 Ernie Moss 35 Vera Lynn 11 Peter Tobin 36 Harry Reid 12 Roger Scruton 37 Ruth Bader Ginsburg 13 Gianluca Vialli 38 Bob Dole 14 Alex Trebek 39 Willie Nelson 15 Sultan Qaboos 40 Barbara Walters 16 Terry Jones 41 Little Richard 17 David Gulpilil 42 Mikis Theodorakis 18 Lee Kerslake 43 Dilip Kumar 19 Daniel Arap-Moi 44 Sumner Redstone 20 Jean-Louis Trintignant 45 Denis Goldberg 21 Mohamed Reza-Shajarian 46 Tom Smith 22 Pat Smullen 47 Lord Henry Mountcharles 23 Yoo Sang-Chul 48 John Edrich 24 Margaret Keane 49 David Crosby 25 6ix9ine 50 Abigail Kawananakoa

Thanks! You have until the end of the day to nominate a joker - or else it will be the first name on the list.

Hello, yes your team is in. You may still pick a joker for twice the points. You can nominate one today. If not, it's going to be the first name on the list.

hmm... better than 2019, 16.

Down to 27 names now. It's getting really hard to cut it down further.

Congratulations drol, and what a performance it was!

I've always liked the creativity and diversity in this competition.

Curious addition to the list, could be ill, could be killed, or he might just be completely fine. We'll see.

Yes, he is a legendary figure, but as long as he is omnipresent in the media, it's too early.

Yeah, his problems are piling up. But which one will break him down, and when?

Very well done, a true British original.

I think I had the idea a few years ago... Well, too early then, but I did notice recently, that he stopped commenting on recent events. Good pick.

Oh, I voted for him in the DL prediction thread! Somewhat overdue, but then again, in terrific shape.

Neat addition, last year might have been more logical, as he survived the health challenges of that year. But the end comes for us all, and for some not quick enough.
