Toast 16,153 Posted January 3, 2016 I was tight as fuck on the rules this year - and may well amend them going forward cos some CUNT POSTED three teams during the entry period. Might well limit amended teams to TWO (first one and a rethink) at a maximum, whaddya reckon? I think that's more than generous. Personally I would just accept subs for deaths before the starting line, and no other amendments. I wouldn't expect to be able to change my mind for the DDP, so why should this be any different? People have a whole year to plan their lists. You do that NO ONE would fucking enter till the 30th at least and we see how well THAT worked tyvm Howard Davis you fuck SC Don't see why, as long as we're allowed to replace early fallers.

Toast 16,153 Posted January 3, 2016 at least you didn't make the mistake of entering Liam neeson. I don't know him well enough, even if I had the necessary equipment. And do something about that fucking signature. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, Maybe I didn't explain myself too well. The issue this year was that Caskets Understand... (i.e. C.U.N.T.) posted a team weeks ago, sent a replacement in November (by which time I'd started assembling the masterlist) and then posted a third team within days of the deadline. And when I asked simply told me to use the 'other' team, so I wasn't totally clear on the intention (i.e. was C.U.N.T. apologising and saying use the November line up or simply being clear that the latest line up was the right one?) So, let's keep it simple going forward. ONE team, but subs are required and in the unlikely event an early entry falls short of 20 starters because death intervenes and even the subs can't compensate sufficiently then late names can be added up to the deadline. Assuming there's a 2017 competition the rules will make that clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last team has a default joker so the random nature of Tony Booth's death puts some of your performance in the lap of the Grim Reaper, punishment enough I'd say.

Dr_T 254 Posted January 3, 2016 I am happy to run the 2016 Death Race Rebel League for those who missed the deadline (are there any more other than Spade?). The thought of going head to head against a seasoned cadaver dog like Spade fills me with trepidation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't help feeling the big boys would know about it if it was true. Why is it always me? I had this hassle last year with Terry Gilliam! Ah well, there's loads of the year to go to get it debunked or confirmed. Edit: The link is back up. I'll await a corroboration before claiming my first ever deadpooling hit, even if it's on my own list and gets me no points anywhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
