If your going to add bonus points for drop 40 and deathlist entries, would you also be willing to put bonus points for unique picks as well?

I actually dropped someone else just so I could put him in this particular pool.

[Bibliogryphon 9,591]

I am not going to quote your whole list but Mary Berry stands out as someone who I think had many years left in her. Observation not criticism. Good luck.

My team has been sent via PM, good luck everyone!

[Death Impends 8,005]

Will submit my team tomorrow. Earlier in the year, when it was presumed this pool would still be a 50-man squad, I was planning to use the last 40-or-so names from my DDP shortlist, including the actual DDP names, plus a few personal favs. Now that it's only 20 names, I'll instead use it mostly for the names that were close but no cigar on my DDP, plus Emma Morano and two or three names who did make the final cut.
