This game is a real mixed bag between the seriously circling the drain types and niche fan favourites. 

 

I tend to go for a mix of each.

So far, we have 24 entries- that's just one short of the 2020 record of 25 players (the pools with no winner!). The following are all entered:

AN FEAR BEAG - AF

ANNAMI - AN

BIBLIOGRYPHON - BB

BOOK - BK

BUFFALO PHIL - BP

CAPTAIN CHORIZO - CC

DOULTON - DO

GCREPTILE - GR

GOOSEBERRY CRUMBLE - GC

GREAT UNCLE BULGARIA - GU

HELL - HE

JOEY RUSS - JR

LIZLEMON - LL

MARINISIA - MA

MSC - MS

PEDRO67 - PO

PERHAPS - PE

SALMON MOUSSE - SM

THE OLD CREM - OC

THE OLD LADY - OL

THE UNKNOWN MAN - UM

TOAST - TO

WANNAMAKER - WA

YOUNG WILLZ - YW

 

 

Of course we still don't have all the rules yet, but that's not important right now :D.

 

Anyone still wishing to enter still has until midnight tomorrow (Monday 31st) to get your entries in. It would be great to break the 2020 record, so come on you lurkers out there - give it a try. Easy pool to enter - no original thinking needed - the names are all there in front of you, you just have to whittle them down.

 

On a related note, I have asked Clorox to send me on all the entries and rules from 2020. If I get them, I will figure out the scores for the year and declare a very late winner.

My last minute call for more teams has come to naught, so the field has been assembled with 24 participants - not too shabby for a resurrected pool with only vague rules, most of which are hidden, . The rules have now been received from Clorox, and having looked through them, I can see why the 2020 tallies were never completed - fuck me, they are complicated!

 

I will post up the master list of picks on the front page. As most teams were submitted in public and are on the first two pages of the pool, I don't see a need to list them out again. Three teams were submitted by PM. They are as follows:

A little bit of housekeeping to be done on this pool.

 

  • 4 teams had picked Mustafa Kayirici who didn't make the starting line. Book, Captain Chorizo, Salmon Mousse and Toast all had their 1st sub promoted.
  • The Old Crem submitted 6 Wildcards. The last of them, Vicky Phelan, had her wildcard status revoked.
  • The Unknown Man submitted Glynnis Johns twice. Al Jaffee, the first sub, was promoted to the team. 

I am going to park this pool for a little while, as I am going to spend my time sort out the scoring for the 2020 Jokers Pool before starting on this one. The two hits so far, Christos Sartzetakis and Lata Mangeshkar  will remain unscored until I return to this in a month or so. In the meantime, please keep noting the hits so I have a list to work on when I get back to it.

 

Of course just because I have not scored the hits, does not mean that there has not been points scored - this is the Jokers Pool after all:D.

The first scoreboard of the year is on Page 1 - Congratulations to Marinisia, our early leader.

Great work!

Good luck scoring the 2020 pool!

 

Obligatory immediate nitpicking: I should have at least two points?

Not according to the rules I have been given (or at least my interpretation of them).

 

Feel free to PM me if you wish to elaborate.
