To those who haven't explicitly stated a wild card I'm assuming number one is your wild card if this isn't the case let me know.

 

I completely missed the wildcard aspect .

 

I will pm you a updated list (same list just with one highlighted as wildcard) soon.

[Predictor 1,018]

Just curious, why is it called The Hare's Death Pool?

[Deathray 2,940]

Just curious, why is it called The Hare's Death Pool?

 

Because the story of the tortoise and the hare was in my head although I suppose your aiming to be the tortoise among all the hares (that was a lame attempt at covering the fact logically this should be The Tortoises Death Pool).

We have 11 teams entered in the team so far, the teams make-up won't be revealed until we make it into new year in case special picks are being held for other not yet closed pools and to allow one last opportunity for others to submit late-entry teams (if you've idiotically forgotten the deadline you've got a last chance for the next few hours).

I forgot 7. It is Valerie Harper.

[Deathray 2,940]

Full teams now available in post 36.

[Deathray 2,940]

And we have the first hit of the year with Dorothy Baldwin dying on New Years Day giving mpfc 1 point. Technically only qualified for 0 points but that felt unfair so I've given 1.

 

Maryportfuncity 1

Everyone else 0

[Estuarian Float 97]

Woo! maryport dashing out the gate. Ray, on the masterlist post you put Darrieux on my team instead of Schuller.

Fixed, I don't think there's any other errors.

[maryportfuncity 10,646]

This deadpool has the same woefully low standards where obits are concerned as the Deathrace. So here's the link to Baldwin's local paper: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Oldest-person-Notts-Dorothy-Baldwin-dies-111/story-20393047-detail/story.html

 

Basically, useless here, but she's also on my Deathrace team where she's worth 364 points.

[Deathray 2,940]

mpfc nets another 6 in light of Run Run Shaw's death

 

mpfc 7

Everyone else 0

[maryportfuncity 10,646]

FFS!!

 

The further ahead I get, the worse I feel about my long-term chances in this.

Don't worry - I'm sure the tortoise did ok last time I heard this story.

[Deathray 2,940]

Ariel Sharon's death sees The Unknown Man, Rotten Ali and US Funeral Director all gain their first hit with 10 points.

 

The Unknown Man 10 points

Rotten Ali 10 points

US Funeral Director 10 points

maryportfuncity 7 points

I believe I just scored with Akkineni Nageswara Rao

[Deathray 2,940]

You do indeed Estuarian Float. Puts you in the lead.

 

Estuarian Float 21points

The Unknown Man 10 points

Rotten Ali 10 points

US Funeral Director 10 points

maryportfuncity 7 points

Everyone Else 0 points

[Deathray 2,940]

Firstly if any of your team have died in the last 2-3 weeks it's possible I've missed them so let me know with an obit...

 

More importantly, Sid Ceaser has ceased to exist and thus Death Impends and Rotten Ali have both gained 42 points.

 

The table now:

 

Rotten Ali 52 points

Death Impends 42 points

Estuarian Float 21 points

The Unknown Man 10 points

US Funeral Director 10 points

maryportfuncity 7 points

Everyone Else 0 points
