msc 18,390 Posted December 29, 2017 Given I had her in the Hares Pool but not in the Hartlepool or Deathrace, shows what my prognosis of her chances were 24 hours ago. That was a sudden down turn.

Time is running short, but we have reached the number of teams we had last/this year. Well done. Still have not received teams from @Pedro67 and @gcreptile and some others who entered this year. Hurry before the deadline, otherwise you'll have to wait a whole year again before enjoying the 12 month ride that is this pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
