Windy City Deadpool 2021-2022

[CaptainChorizo 1,990]

Ah, April. As the weather gets warmer, the DDP hits get fewer.

But - not to fret - as the Windy City Deadpool is here to save us all from a summer of deadpooling boredom!

 

Basics:

Pick a team of 21 people.

The higher their rank, the more points they get when they die and obit.

Submit it to me via PM or on this thread, by the end of April.

 

Scoring System:

1st pick: 500 points

2nd pick: 450 points

3rd pick: 400 points

4th pick: 350 points

5th pick: 300 points

6th pick: 275 points

7th pick: 250 points

8th pick: 225 points

9th pick: 200 points

10th pick: 180 points

11th pick: 160 points

12th pick: 140 points

13th pick: 120 points

14th pick: 100 points

15th pick: 85 points

16th pick: 70 points

17th pick: 55 points

18th pick: 50 points

19th pick: 45 points

20th pick: 40 points

21st pick: 21 points

As you can see the margin slowly decreases from 50 to 25 to 20 to 15 to 5 until the 21st pick.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by whoever has the most unique hits.

CaptainChorizo...

I would like to give you a brief explanation...

My candidate number 4 is...

Yuriko Kikuchi (born in 1920):

known by her stage name Yuriko (an American dancer and choreographer who was born in San Jose, California).

And not:

Yuriko Kikuchi (born in 1981):

known by her stage name Rinko Kikuchi (a Japanese actress).

For which... I owe you an apology for my great mistake.
