An Fear Beag 1,354 Posted December 30, 2023 I'm in - PM sent. I've finished second to @Bananain this pool for the past 2 year. I can't see it happening again with the weak team that I've submitted. However, if it does happen for a 3rd year in a row, I am going to change my user name to "Banana's Bitch", and will only change it back whenever I get knocked out of the cup later in the year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted December 31, 2023 Right - midnight, entries closed - 49 teams in and listed - won't publish the masterlist until New Year's Day out of respect to anyone trying to avoid their picks being spotted and put to work in other pools. Jimmy Carter apparently alive, thankfully! It'll likely surprise nobody that he's smashed it as most popular pick this time around. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So everyone agrees that he is a goner, but no-one has the first fucking clue when he is going to do it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,235 Posted December 31, 2023 I briefly thought about picking him in both pools. Seems quite a few players have done so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted January 1 Reet gang, masterlist now posted Given the fuck-tonne of late arriving names I'd never heard of and hadn't time to Google I'm assuming there may be a few accidental duplications, also that some of the counting deaths will depend on the team managers alerting us all and - finally - that there may be the occasional mistake in there. Feel free to post any corrections hereabouts and I'll attend to them once I've been to the gym (is it just me or does dead pooling motivate anyone else to try and avoid the problems we readily discuss applying to others?) Either way, let's get this fast n furious show on the road. More (49) teams than ever and more picks than ever, so you'd hope this one will see fast a changing leaderboard, a white knuckle ride to the final result and none of that dragging on greatly. Or am I wrong? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
