From what I can tell, you're missing Bert I Gordon, Arnaldo Forlani, and the Iron Sheik.

On page 1 there's a dead-log. If you ctrl f your name you can see if I missed any of your dead. I do maintain it in the hopes that I can get some community help, especially since this year there are a lot of entries.

I still think I only have 8 hits (+ one that was unvalid (worlds oldest person) + Bob Barker who was only on my sub-list.)

Thanks for your patience, I appreciate you guys. Sometimes. :ghost5:

When I was cross-checking my own score I saw a discrepancy as well. I'll take it chill for now and get back to regularly maintaining names as they come in at least every month or so. The competition won't end until December so I've got a minute to figure it out, as I see it, so no stress. The scoreboard and death log should give us a good idea of where we are in the competition. I do this for fun and I hope you guys continue to like seeing where we are in the competition.

I misunderstood, you're saying I've given you too many points. I definitely will look into it! I'll give it a quick check now, if there's still a discrepancy in December make sure to give me a shout! It does look like it's Bob Barker - there were 45 hits for Bob Barker which explains how I counted your sub! Thank you for your honesty.

McAlpine and Cornwell added on. My requirements are a bit different than a solid obit. They aren't what I first look for!

I have myself at 25/50 in the Shadow List, so after Charlton and Griffiths, two names seem to still be missing - if they got counted. 

 

Unless I have messed up, it should be like this:

1 Rolf Harris   26 Jonnie Irwin
2 James Whale 27 Chris Snow
3 Ryuichi Sakamoto 28 Andy Taylor
4 Tony Bennett 29 Michael Tilson Thomas
5 Ted Kaczynski 30 Derek Draper
6 Gianluca Vialli 31 Shane MacGowan
7 Steve McMichael 32 George Alagiah
8 Nigel Lawson 33 Christopher Fowler
9 Nigel Starmer-Smith 34 Mohamed Al Fayed
10 Bobby Charlton 35 Anita Kupsch
11 Gordon McQueen 36 Burt Bacharach
12 Joe Kinnear   37 Henry Kissinger
13 Mark Pilgrim 38 Alice Munro
14 Franz Beckenbauer 39 Johnny Ruffo
15 Tony Marshall 40 Charlie Bird
16 Frank Field   41 Eric Lamaze
17 Tim Lobinger 42 Menahem Pressler
18 Teresa Taylor 43 Roland Griffiths
19 Mike Sertich 44 Richard Rohr
20 Roberta Flack 45 Francoise Hardy
21 Rob Burrow   46 David Linden
22 Frank McGarvey 47 Frederic Forrest
23 Daniel Paul   48 Vladimir Putin
24 Mutulu Shakur 49 Carolyn Bryant Donham
25 Jeanette Lee 50 Miroslav Blazevic

Feel free to check the front page for which name may have been missed. I keep a log to try and keep track of names and potential mistakes made to keep the process transparent.

If polar duck is correct, then Daniel Paul and Mark Pilgrim are the two missing names.

The only name you logged that isn't on the first page is Marga Minco.

Update 2: Ady Barkan and Wei Wei are hits
