Hartlepool Deadlypool 2022

[Death Impends 7,953]

Unfortunately @DeathByArsenic and @Gooseberry Crumble you will have to shave off one of your names as the deadline for a full team has already passed. If no response I will just remove the 5 pointer name.

 

I hate to do it but it just wouldn't be a HPDP without some cruel and unusual punishment

Here's the rules re the deadline:

 

On 24/12/2021 at 18:12, Death Impends said:

6. The deadline is 23:59 GMT on December 31. However, unlike most dead pools, teams may still be submitted post deadline - with the catch that any teams submitted January 1st and beyond are limited to 9 picks (plus two substitutes), and the highest-ranked name on your team starts with a value of 45 points. In fairness to those who entered in a timely manner, I will also forbid late entrants from including any currently unique names on their main team. Names that are entirely unpicked, only on subs benches, or on multiple main teams are fair game for inclusion. Because the subs bench has no impact on a pick's uniqueness, any name is fair game for inclusion on a late team's subs bench.

 

It is tempting to be lenient but then, allowing teams that submitted past the deadline to partake at all is lenient as is so I sadly have to be a bit of a harsh mistress!

 

If it helps you feel better at least you didn't pick any baseball players

I'm assuming you PM'ed it and then have posted it publicly post deadline?

Oh feck I'm sorry, missed your PM! Figures I would miss one with my verrrry hectic week at work...

 

I'll give you 5 bonus points in apology!

honestly there is no need to give me bonus points as an apology for an innocent mix up! In the unlikely event I win by a small margin  i dont want anyone saying my win is not legitmet!

 

 

As long as i am not going mad thats all that matters!

 

Dont worry about it these things happen!

[Death Impends 7,953]

Right with that sorted out I am calling it a night. Hope to complete the masterlist posts and fill out the celeb data in my Excel file over Saturday and Sunday.

Cheers.

 

@Hell @John Key and @The Old Crem all also picked her and will need to adjust their teams accordingly.

 

I'll award the consolation points of 0.99 in due time but give me time to finish tidying up the masterlist posts so they can still be all ready tomorrow...

Would my first sub of Gary Burgess be perfectly fine? 

 

Betty White had good comedic timing up til the end!

I must have been unknowingly  skim reading these forums at times recently  or on auto pilot to some extent because  Gary Burgess  seems to be getting picked a lot  but his existence and his terrible health situation I only learnt of an hour or two ago via   google. 

He clearly is an excellent  choice. 

[Book 3,545]

 

 

He was also my first choice:

01. Billy Turner (racehorse trainer)

 

01. Igor Bogdanov

02. Gary Burgess

03. Russell Bishop

04. Natalie Kwadrans

05. Robert Durst

06. Mustafa Kayirici

07. Susie Steiner

08. Frank Field

09. David Graham

10. Joe Kinnear

 

Subs:

Joe Kinnear

George Pérez

Pelé

You can now put in a new second sub after promoting Kinnear, if you so desire.

 

I will get to properly updating the trio of Turner pickers in due time... working on the masterlist posts again now

The masterlist posts are up! It looks like 46 teams now. I was thinking the participation rate was going to be slightly down, but impressive turnout in the final two days exceeded expectations.

 

Yes, there's still a few instances of Betty White and Billy Turner about the posts, but that's enough for today. I also have to start the research and filling out the actual details on newly-picked celebs for bonuses etc, let's see if this Bill Clinton guy was ever president, etc...

 

I decided to just let @DeathByArsenic have the full team despite being 15 minutes late or so. My generosity after sleeping off yesterday's Bettymania. No further exceptions mind.

 

Speaking of Betty White, only markb4 out of her pickers has made the team adjustments I believe (if anyone else among you did and I missed it please remind me!). I will give them until 23:59 on Sunday to provide a replacement pick, if not, I will just bump every name on their team below White up one.

 

This likewise applies to teams still without a full subs bench. The deadline for them is 23:59 on Sunday and past that point they will only have one or zero subs.

Gary Burgess has passed away. R.I.P. @Death Impends
(Also it looks like none of my picks made it on the Masterlist of Picks.)

[maryportfuncity 10,630]

You show up on both the picks and teams masterlist. Not sure what the issue is?

 

I'll wait until all the data on new celebs is entered, and I fully update for White and Turner's deaths, before updating for Burgess.

I hadn't noticed your response till now, very sorry as it was so hectic yesterday!

 

Unfortunately @John Key given Burgess died since this post it's a bit tricky... I think the fairest thing to do, since you didn't specify which spot to put him on, is to give you sub points for him and then have you put someone else on the main team? Note that as you can get points for subs if you want to promote Mangeskhar you can institute a new second sub.
