So, How's Your 2025 Shortlist Looking?

[Banana 865]

Just stumbled across a name from earlier this year that has nearly 0 mentions on the forums that is a sure-fire obit. Terminally ill, seems to be in fairly rough condition, but not necessarily a guarantee for this year. Can't possibly believe I'm of very few people to notice, but I guess we'll see.

First time playing this year, and this year has been so uneventful for me that I lost track of half of the deadpools I'm entered in and who I selected last year. Going to try again this year but it's harder than I expected.

 

It would be nice if the local boy won the Derby Dead Pool!

Not exactly getting my hopes up as I haven't done that well this year. I used to be run a dead pool in my office before the pandemic but all of my selections had an inconvenient habit of dying the very year after I dropped them from my list.

Not short enough!

Being this is my first year in DDP, I made it fairly easy and my teams will probably be seen as rookie list for sure.  Main Team is just a group of 20 people that I had on my long list for Shadow List that I was unable to fit. Then I made two Theme Teams.. we shall see I have not gotten any E-Mail back saying anything was wrong with my teams yet, so I at least might be lucky there. I had a Theme in mind, but I only could get up to 17 people that I thought would be  deathlisty enough.. Others that would have qualified are too young

I've kept one person on my shortlist quiet so that not many put him in a list. He's doing the podcast rounds at the moment.
