Inverse Dead Pool 2017

Recommended Posts

I'm getting turned into creamed corn. :D  It's fun, though, to watch the results play out of my name and position selection method (which were both done by rolls of the dice.) I would have been disappointed in getting any position but last!

Somehow I get the feeling that I'll win the wooden spoon...

I knew there would be many hits. And still half the year to go.

We've become too good. The most popular picks are also more in danger of dying.

Wonder if there should a dead pool where you guess who's gonna die in the top 50. I'm thinking of like a ranking of putting down a list from 1-50 and points given based on the position of the person. In fact, there could be a test run, as there are exactly 40 candidates left. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Don't think a lot of people remembered to put Glen Campbell on their lists. Anyways, he's dead...

As we say Adios to Glen Campbell, five teams score points for keeping him ever gentle on their teams. As such, the scoreboard has been affected, but for now Drol maintains his lead. Will that be the case by the time we get to the year's end? Or is Drol still on the line?

 

Here are the scores!

 

1st - Drol - 7 points

2nd - The Unknown Man - 12 points

3rd - Grim Up North - 18 points

4th - Dr_T - 22 points

Most teams played their cards right by not penciling Sir Bruce Forsyth into their pack. For the 9 teams that did have him, whether higher or lower, it will not be nice to see the below scoreboard, to see the below scoreboard it will not be nice. Drol strictly maintains his lead at the top of the scoreboard, isn't he doing well?

Jokes aside, Drol does have a good lead at this point.

Don't think many of us had Colin Meads. He's now gone...

As Colin Meads his maker, things are looking all black for the handful of teams who thought he might see the year out. Not much change with regards to the scores, though Angels' experiment reattains it's wooden spoon position for now.

Hmmm - I think Jerry Lewis could (unusually) be a 'good' hit for me in this one.

I was about to check to see how high Jerry Lewis was on my team, but then I remembered that I completely forgot to put on my team. :D

Had Lewis at the lower reaches, so a minimal few extra for me.

I kind of want to see how far up the leaderboard I jump. Is the Dead Cow still working on it, or did he simply forget to hit send?

The death of Jerry Lewis, the King of Comedy, is no laughing matter when it comes to this game. 23 teams were nutty enough to think he'd survive the year and therefore The Day the Clown Died could turn out to be a pivotal moment in this competition.

Wow, that is a leap up the board for me and a rock in the road for drol.

 

It won't last, we've ages to go and my mistake of mixing up Stilyan Petrov and Fernando Ricksen is bound to kick me in the goolies before December.

Only 5 teams under 40 points at this point. Brutal...
