Am I to understand you only want 3 picks from a TV show? 

You understand correctly. Must include a sub as well!

It says you cannot receive messages  @MortalCaso when I try to sent my entry.

 

Many thanks for running this pool.:)

I cleared some messages; did that fix it?

Drum-roll please

We have our first duplicate pick!

 

The British soap opera Crossroads was selected by both @Gooseberry Crumble and @Redrumours.

The show has now been eliminated from this round and may not be picked.

 

You both must select a new show to submit.

I will add out of the 3 entries + 1 sub you both submitted, you had a singular name in common.

Interesting tidbit

Clears throat

 

I must say, two duplicates in a row!

 

The American soap opera Falcon Crest was selected by both @Gooseberry Crumble and @MariNisia.

The show has now been eliminated from this round and may not be picked.

 

You both must select a new show to submit.

Out of the 3 entries + 1 sub you both submitted, you had no names in common.

Sums up why I'm skipping this one. If Gooseberry Crumble, who practically invented the modern obscure unique pick, is struggling!

I am now relaxing in the summer house in the back garden , chilling  listening  to both the mesmerising sound of  rain on the window and enjoying a good podcast. 

Hopefully this has got my mind into a  good enough state that the team I have now just sent you doesn't clash  with any other teams picked!

We are now at 19 entries and, so far, no further duplicates!

 

Don't forget, we still have quite a bit to go before the starting gun :D

That's a nice life you have, nobleman.

Give my regards to your servants. :D

No such luck! If I could afford servants  I would be more inclined to spend that money on a'  sex slave' or valet as some call it to sound more classy- rather than a servant!

Summer houses are becoming increasingly popular  not just with posh people! It helped preserve  my sanity during the covid lockdown!

 

It's not much bigger  than an average shed, just a small square room.

That's great, @Gooseberry Crumble. I'm happy for you.

We seem to have passed through the worst part of the storm.

Will you reconsider? Any pool you participate in is that much better for it.

I can help in a pm with some good suggestions I am confident  could do well for you!

Entries close August 5th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT).

 

That's a little more than 48 hours from now. We are sitting at 22 entries currently.

If you want in the pool, make sure to submit via PM. No telling how long till the next one!

I have submitted a team. I’ll be amazed if anyone has picked the show, but I’m open to surprises!

 

Any problems @MortalCaso, let me know.

Hypothetically, if someone sends in a team at 5 minutes to 6 CST, which is a duplicate of one already submitted, but the original entrant is in Europe and already in bed and therefore didn't find out about it until they get up the following day, what would happen? (As the deadline has passed?)

The cut-off is for new people + entries primarily. If there are any duplicates, or issues with the shows/cast selected, that can be resolved after the deadline with no issue. As long as you submitted a team before the starting gun, fair play. 

 

My goal is to have a firm cut-off on participants, then spend the next 24 hours making sure everything/everyone followed the rules.

 

In summary, you folks across the pond are fine.

Good question!

Submissions closed! We ended with 27 teams in total. Thanks for the support everyone.

 

Please double check my list for any issues with your submission (spelling or birth date especially).

I will be keeping a running count, best I can, of any misses from the shows picked.

 

Best of luck! Let the game begin

:2guns:

Lots of very good and interesting teams but I must confess that I haven't heard of half of the programmes mentioned!!

 

Good luck everyone!
