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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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
