Inverse Dead Pool 2K12

Recommended Posts

Hey, we did it last year, we're doing it this year again because someone asked. I suck at keeping score but there you go.

 

THE RULES

 

At the bottom of this post is a list of the 50 most common DDP picks for 2012, with the exception of the now carked Ms James. What you have to do, either in these posts here or via private message, is list the 25 you think are most likely to live to see January 1, 2013. In order. If your 1 pick dies, you lose 25 points, if your #2 pick dies you lose 24, all the way down to a one point loss for the death of your 25th pick. Person who has the score closest to zero at the end of the year wins a significant cash sum/a two-line post on this forum.

Good list, mind, definite deaths on there and lots of them hard to call. The only safe prediction is that the eventual winner will have to honestly claim luck played a part in their victory.

Nope, so in a controversial decision I'm just going to bump his remaining players up one and have him start with a field of 24. Harsh but fair.

So yep, Jim Stynes is the first of the inverse applicable to drop this year. Most of us had steered well clear of him, but two optimists shoved him in their squad and get the ignominy of being the only points scorers at this time of the year.

 

 

The Unknown Man -5

Sympathy for the Devil -9

 

Everything else is still on 0.

Sorry, #21 = Jerry Lewis, if it's still applicable and I'm not ruled out for late entry.
