Death Impends

Derby Dead Pool 2024

Recommended Posts

Also have not received confirmation of my team (Fade to Black) being received. Sent on Friday, replied to the e-mail address from where it came.  Same address as usual. Hopefully, just a matter of getting to all the entries before the deadline to send those confirmations.

I sent it to that email and didn't but then, from memory, the auto-reply has trouble with certain Email providers. I'm not worried as I never get the auto-update but am in the DDP each year!

Hmm. That is where I originally sent it to, as a reply to the e-mail sent to me with the Microsoft Excel sheet. Re-sent it, no reply. Definitely sent, as I forwarded it to another e-mail address. However, I see someone else has replied with a reassurance. I will reply to them. Thank you for the post.

Thanks. I suspect it did go through, but when you hear people getting auto replies and you don't, it just gives you pause for concern.

  3. Brian Barczyk 

  4. Franz Beckenbauer

I've sent in my teams for this year. Good luck to everyone!

 

I've decided to send only two teams instead of three like I did last year. The third team I sent in last year was fairly rushed, and I don't want to submit a team I'm not happy with.

Pleased to receive my emails confirming that all my DDP picks have been accepted and entered into the game.

 

I have  always managed to stay within the games eligibility rules  for picks despite being a bit zany, out there and left field. 

 

Thanks for your hard work @Banana

I can't quite vouch for it a 100% but unless your Email provider rejected the delivery, your Email should have arrived.

My space theme team removed the dead folk, promoted Thomas Stafford to joker, demoted Francis Graham-Smith to regular pick. Added William R. Lucas and Loren Acton.

 

My US #1s theme team removed the dead folk as well as Abdul "Duke" Fakir (I'm focused on names who might not otherwise be DDP picks and he was on 4 teams in 2023 so I'm pretty sure heeeee'll be theeeeere regardless). Added Jimmy Gilmer and Bobby Goldsboro.

 

Very casual TJS to be posted after absolute deadline.

My lists.

ScreenHunter_116 Jan. 01 06.04.jpg

 

Some new names. Sub Hosono was a member of a trio last year but this year the only one in YMO. Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi both died. I know there are a lot Isley brothers but Ronald is the last one of the original group. I'll ask for Paul McCartney to be subbed since the drummer of Wings turns out also to be alive.
