Derby Dead Pool 2015

I don't think there should be an additional point for unique picks...in fact I think a point should be deducted...because they are usually just famous for being ill...

Don't be a sod Windy. It's a trick to find an angle and its a valid route to get another few points.

I will be opening a debate this year on changing the rules/points/eligibility etc for 2016's competition so we can all air our thoughts on this in due course...

....

Puhleeeeeeease.

I really like to think this competition, much like F1 10 years ago, is in pretty good shape, despite being dominated by an odious unlikable character. All this kind of "ooh, maybe this rule should be changed, ooh maybe we should give points for this or that" (like that utter shite about dates that no-one's died on yet) is the kind of bollocks you usually only see on the discussion forums of dying sports who have dwindling viewership and the die-hard fans are trying to throw all sorts of gimmicky bollocks against the wall to see what sticks. Sports like... er, y'know... F1 today. Or Mediterranean ballsack-stretching. Don't think Windsor really thought this would go anywhere....... there's nothing "wrong" about unique bonus at all. If anything should be changed its that obscure-hunting theme-teams shouldn't be able to have their "uniques" count and therefore knock proper regular teams out of having a unique. That's all I would ask for.

 

I'm sure we will have the debate anyway cos these fings aren't up to me are they, juss sayin'........ and everyone likes Windsor or something.

 

WINDSOR I LOVE YOU BRO LET'S DO LUNCH IF WE CAN FIND AN ABERDEEN CAFF YOU ARENT BANNED FROM

Never thought I'd say this but I'm with Dr Zorders on this, I don't think there's any need for a rule change.

Bound to be, apart from owt else Ms Ekberg will have had some support and anyone posting a team at the very last minute will doubtless have done what the late Deathrace entries did and snagged Little Jimmy Dickens.

No, January's usually a pretty slow time in deadpooling, can't imagine anyone will have died in the first 11 days of the year.

Rod Taylor was in my theme team and I doubt he was a unique. I've seen Little Jimmy Dickens in a couple of signatures. Donna Douglas was possibly on some people's radar too.

There are hits, certainly but hopefully all will be revealed tomorrow barring the usual calamity...

Alas there will be no reveal tonight as I got mired in coding issues which I have only now just resolved, so we're looking at sometime between Wednesday and Friday...

No problemo.......

Hopefully we'll have had these boards fixed by then too so people can have a (relatively) coherent discussion about the picks!

That gives time for someone to publish a obit for Gene Kemp before I see whether or not anyone else picked her

I'm amazed that you get it done so quickly. Well done. I would have it up sometime in March if I organized.

I got my first hit today. Nothing to be "proud" of since it was a super-centenarian, but 3 is still better than 0, I reckon. :party::24087468: :24087468:

A quick question:

 

Has everyone received their email telling them they're in the DDP for this year?
