We are entering the final month, so please take a minute to review your teams in the next few weeks and post any missed hits.  I will make updates again as needed but want to have a final result up by first week of August, so there will be a few days leeway to accept these notices.

@Wormfarmer George Alagiah is a hit for many people here. Is this game going to run 2023-2024?

I hope so because I didn't compete this year as was just getting into deadpooling and didn't want to overwhelm myself. Now i'm ready to do more.

Justin Yerbury could be a well-timed hit for me, after George Alagiah.

tol - thank you for your interest.  Yes, I plan on having a 23-24 edition.  I will be starting a new thread in the next week or so, and plan to start accepting entries once I put this one to bed Aug 11.  Look for a deadline to submit of Aug 31.  Pool will run for the 12 months following, with only a few minor tweaks which I hope will improve the game.  This one is quite exciting!

Extremely timely, but maybe only one point short????  

[gcreptile 10,223]

I guess Henry Dickerson died 10 days too late to give me the win:

After his passing I had posted that due to confusion with the commonly chosen politician of the same name, anyone who had intended to select the weatherman should come forward prior to the end of the grace period (Aug 11) and I would award them the points.  Although you are a week late, you are the only one to claim the weatherman which would give you 3 solo points along with the alliterative for a total of 6 points.  A nice score that in your position would move you 6 places up the leaderboard.  Imagine yourself at 21 points!  Well done.
