The Hare's Death Pool

Deaths which might change everything:

 

Leslie Phillips, Leah Bracknell; Ted Mack; Simon Ricketts.

 

Of course, if Stephen Hawking dies on 31 December, you are probably unbeatable without someone else hitting two or three before then...

I can do better than that - if we are only talking one death (and it isn't on 31st December) then only the following deaths win it for

Sean

Diana Athill, Jacques Chirac, Olivia de Havilland, Paul Gascoigne, Rev Billy Graham, Douglas Hurd, Terry Jones, Leslie Phillips.

 

TUM

Leah Bracknell, George HW Bush, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Valerie Harper, Glynis Johns, Yasuhiro Nakasone, Isabel Peron, Ian St John, Dick van Dyke.

 

Death Impends

Ted Mack - but only if he dies after Christmas

 

So I have a very special list of 18 people (plus family, friends,colleague, fellow death listers obviously) who I'm hoping will see 2018. I'm fine with Simon Ricketts dying provided he doesn't do it on 31st of December and he is the only death.

 

If it is on 31st or there are multiple deaths then scrub all the above.

I'll have a look at this and add to the Masterlist. You'll need to nominate a Joker who will earn double points on their demise.

 

If I have any queries, I'll come back to you. Good luck!

I think he nominated Mary Wilson as his joker, it’s just crunched up...

Ok, that's 11 entries so far. With the expected value of the pound to drop after the Brexit negotiations late in 2018, charity isn't going to benefit by very much, but I know more are on their way, so lemme have them.

for the Hare's Pool 20 names(+backup's picks if you send early) before the start date

If your pick dies on On Jan 1 2018- 1 point, Jan 2 -2 points ....etc etc if they die on Dec 31 2018 then 365 points

Can pick any living  famous/notable person who gets a newspaper mention - death row inmates scheduled for execution,or people only famous cause their dying(ie cancer muums/dads,star trek fan with stage 4 cancer,Daniel Craig's limo driver etc)

Those rules in full are here: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8600-dl-dead-pools/?do=findComment&comment=257243 and on the first page of this thread.

 

Look forward to hearing your team if you are interested.

Another reminder. With a week to go, teams can still be submitted up to the deadline of 23:59 GMT on 31 December.

 

Is Grim Up North ill? Haven't had his countdown for a day or two...

No although my 'leading a dead pool' twitch is getting worse by the day.

 

i thought the countdown was becoming tiresome so stopped however we're down to 8 days and counting now - it's very distracting!

12 teams in for 2018 so far.

 

If you think you have submitted and not had an acknowledgement, you aren't entered.

 

Wouldn't it be nice to beat the 24 teams entered for 2017?

I've queried a couple of your picks by PM.

 

Once they are clarified, I'll be able to progress.

Ok, not long in thinking.

 

I've already set a precedent with Tracy McGiffin, may the wrath of players come down on me.

 

Team's added and good luck!

No wrath here, you're the boss. Besides, by removing Fringes players before sending you it, I'd already made the decision not to see if [name for DDP] was acceptable.
