Sean 6,330 Posted January 3, 2016 Ok everyone.Apologies for the delay just wanted to make sure I had everything in place to reveal the winner of the pool accurately.First of all some points.Please please make sure if you make a mistake by putting the same name in twice you let me know.It makes it so much easier and avoids me coming to the incorrect conclusion you are a cheat.Now please all check your entries to make sure I have counted up correctly before I give the full scoreboard in the coming days (I can`t say when as I am very very busy with work so bear with me please).I can however reveal that the winner is Sir Creep following the death of Howard Davis JR in the dying hours of 2015.http://www.fox5atlanta.com/sports/67599204-story.This fox News report gives him 56 points catapulting him him to 269 points beating his nearest rival Death Impends by 14 points .Here is the list of the top 3 contestants and their entries which I have added up and placed here for transparancy.Every hit on the list is displayed in points next to the pick alongside the total it gives them 1)Sir Creep :269 Points 2)Death Impends :255 Points 3)Shaun of the Dead :241 Points Sir Creep First, actual DL names I suspect are suspect: 1.

msc 18,476 Posted January 3, 2016 Blimey, congrates to Sir Creep. It was certainly a year for people nicking in front with one of the last hits of a game. The Deathrace and DDP also ended in that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 3, 2016 Whoa! I feel like the least favorite to win an Oscar and hearing my name announced. I didn't prepare a speech, I had no idea!
