Derby Dead Pool 2013

Recommended Posts

I'd give it until 23:59 on January 2nd. That is plenty of time for any celebrity or even remotely notable person to get an obit if they are to get one at all.

I think it would be fair to allow points* for a late December death if the qualifying obit came on 1 January. This would not cause an undue delay to the final results.

 

* just to clarify: points to count for the year ending, not the year just starting.

 

This was exactly what I thought. Nice to see that we have an open discussion here now. My suggestion was to give one week time to get obit but if that is too much then maybe less would be still better than 23.59 @ 31.12.

 

I guess it is a question if this game should be bittersweet or honest. I would chose honest rules but I can also understand the positive-bittersweet side of being strict with the rules.

 

So far so good for me. I haven't lost any points because of late obit yet :)

There's usually at least a few hours between death and announcement, though.

 

How inconsiderate. Can't they announce NYE deaths a few hours before the celebrity in question buys the farm?

I think they should make an assessment on 30th and open the door for them - just out of consideration for poor deadpoolers

I sent mine in, forgot where on my laptop I saved it, left for California, drove for 25 f'in hours. I guess we'll all know who's on it when TMIB does the magic finger thing. :) Doesn't matter. They won't die.

A bit unfair since there are numerous Brits I've never heard off. But okay, the rules.... (I could get lucky and get some unique picks.)

 

 

I Recieved confirmiation on the lists. Thanks.

 

Whitehouse, not to put a damper on things, but Mollie Sugden whom you have listed in your signature has been dead since 2009

And corrected that one as well. I already got a pm about that one. Stupid me... I think I'll sub her for Peter Falk.

Fingers crossed it'll be Saturday. Now the new picks will not have too much details, they will be rolled out over the next few weeks. There's around 1100. 587 teams and about 3280 celebs in total. Just need to iron out a few kinks and we should be good to go, providing the data load goes well and the subsequent generation of pages...

Looks excellent, much props getting it up! I'd be glad to provide the details on my picks if it'd be of any help.

Good work old bean. Would it be of any help if I sent you a photo and details of Marquez and Grotbags?

 

Grotbags is covered. She was picked a couple of years ago...

Thanks. I should have know that, I ask the same every year. I'm surprised Hywel Bennett is unique.

Has Ralph H Baer really never been picked before this year? That surprises me.

Cheers TMIB. There's still a pint with your name on it waiting when you show up at the DL Con! Just let me know.

 

I see some scumbag has jumped on the Les Munro bandwagon....

I had no idea I was "Rookie of the Year 2012" so that was a nice surprise.
