Damn! I just realized I put Susannah Mushatt Jones and Emma Morano in two of my teams, here and in Shaun's Pool. I'd like to replace them in this competition with my first two subs MN Sharma and Heinrich List. Is that ok? I have a weird fixation on not using any name twice.

I do quite like to spread the interest, so normally I try not to repeat names (although there are exceptions).

 

What I would like to to do though is submit the same team to both Deathrace and The Hare's. It would be interesting to see which performs better. Unfortunately the Hare demands 25 names while Deathrace matches the DDP with 20.

You could submit your first 20 names the same as Deathrace.

 

Also gcreptile that's fine.

I think I've done something like that, but the point is they aren't the same team.

Also, having a team of 20 means that people can use their DDP team if they wish.

Edit: By the way, who won last year? I know it wasn't me...

[Sir Creep 7,070]

So do people who didn't die count as 366 points each? Otherwise I'd just pick 25 people I know would live and score zero and win.

Clearly I've assumed getting a bad early hit is better than no hit at all (see Harrington (HIT) and Feek on my team). Shoulda asked clarification beforehand I reckon.

No, if they don't die they count for diddly squat, just like in any other dead pool that isn't the Inverse Dead Pool.
