Deathlist Cup 2024

Recommended Posts

Yes, if there's an obit without the "lifelong dedication" etc... that would be good. Slightly strange that he didnt get a local shout out.

There's still time though.

Thanks. Yeah, last time I checked (yesterday) I was VERY curious about him not having tweeted for 5 days.

 

Well. I think that pretty much settles it?

The game was between "acute cases" (wannamaker) and "in hospice for months" people (max_bossetti). It does look like the acute case of Dave Cokin now decides the championship. Cokin was a Las Vegas radio host and legend of the betting community. He also occasionally wrote articles for the Las Vegas newspapers, which means that he might get a Yahoo obit, and would QO for the DDP. He had his own website, too, and by all accounts was a respected member of this shadowy industry. Maybe Nate Silver will tweet something about him? Cokin had been battling cancer for over a year and just retired in June correctly expecting to not live much longer.

Max_bossetti now only has Joanna Paul-Robie as a one-hit-winner. And there's no Fergie time here....

 

wannamaker 8-4 max_bossetti

And so the game concludes. Winner of the DeathList Cup 2024 is @wannamaker, congratulations!

Have a somewhat olympic-themed, AI-generated picture:

Also, congratulations to max_bossetti for reaching the finals. He defeated a couple of VERY heavy hitters in his first year participating in this competition. He's immediately put himself on the map with these results.

Congratulations, Wannamaker. 

 

Congratulations to Max_Bossetti, too, for putting up one hell of a game, even if it ended in second place.

Thanks for the congratulations messages everyone, I never expected reaching the final, let alone winning the whole thing, so I'm still a bit surprised that I actually won this. Think I got lucky with some of my picks in the game, considering the hospice picks somehow survived longer than expected & I got at least one unique hit since April.

 

I want to give my respects to @max_bossetti. I'm pretty sure this was his first cup, so managing to reach the final is an impressive feat and this surely makes him a top candidate for next year's competition. I'll admit that there was a period of time where I was begging for Chuwit Kamolvisit to stay alive because I stupidly forgot to add Jane McAlevey in my team.

 

Well, that's about it, I'm horrible at doing acceptance speeches or whatever this is, so yeah, thanks for everything everyone :D.
