Wikipedia reassigned his name to February 29th based on those other sources. I can vouch that I saw it a little while ago posted for March 1st on wiki as well before it changed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So my team is as last minute useless as possible. I spent a total of 3-4 hours checking but didn’t see a soul that was interestingly unique. I’ve never had to turn in a pile of (other teams’) reboots like this, but there wasn’t anyone at all I could say ‘JOKER’. Worst entry ever. We usually play each other @msc too bad we didn’t this round lol war of attrition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They aren’t posted anywhere. @gcreptile your post for round 2 only shows like 5 matches. Where are the rest? EDIT: oh FFS I have to turn my iPhone to landscape and I only see half the matchups (unfortunately my lineup not diego’s) COULD SOMEONE FORMAT THE THING so I 1) don’t have to turn my phone landscape and 2) so if I do have to, it fits on the Fn screen thanks in advance.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 3 I've always liked this 2nd round of the Cup (and the 3rd one) because you have so many teams and so many creative names people have found - I do respect the things some players come up with very much. And I like how people find them.. But it seems the only super-quick hit this round is not some super-secret cult name but "legendary" Nigerian comedian John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu. His wikipedia page describes him as "Nigeria's Borat", so, interpret it the way you want. He was ill for quite some time, and late last year, sepsis was added to the list of afflictions. He had to have his leg amputated, and then the same leg some more. And then his children set up a fake gofundme campaign. Usually, the air of fraud deters players from picking such people - but Cpt.

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted March 3 Eleanor Collins has died. A solo hit for one team... upon confirmation she died in March and not February. https://globalnews.ca/news/10332428/jazz-legend-eleanor-collins-passes-away/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 4 Looks like Eleanor Collins died on the 3rd. The "first lady of Canadian jazz" - not just first in stature, but also quite literally the first one to do so it seems. Her career began in the 40s and peaked with TV shows in the 60s. GuyFromFuture wins a prize in the centenarians lottery and leads Spade_Cooley who only has one unique pick to counter.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted March 12 Charlie Bird is a hit here. Eric Dornfeld (typo'd by me in my entry as Dornfield) will be if he gets a QO, having died last night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 12 Charlie Bird is dead - and a unique (!) hit for therewillbedeaths7. The veteran Irish journalist was the primary media contact for the provisional IRA in the 1990s after having reported on the peace process for a decade. Not only that, he covered global issues for about 40 years until his MND diagnosis finally slowed him down. He pretty much alerted everybody to his impending death, though MND/ALS is always tricky to time.
