Switch 141 Posted January 14, 2017 When does this start and what sort of score has won in the past? It's started, although the deadline for entries is 21st January. Previous winning scores are as follows 2016 - 21 points 2015 - 15 points 2014 - 10 points 2012 - 10 points 2011 - 15 points Does that mean that it will possible to sub anyone who dies before January 21?

If someone dies before the deadline then I will award points to the teams that had them. Any teams that are entered after such a death will still be required to pick 25 names and will be given a handful of points. You can probably tell that I'm making these rules up as I go along. To be honest, I don't expect anyone to die before the 21st. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Switch 141 Posted January 15, 2017 I put him and Brady in the last two spots, so I'm not badly affected. I also added him to my DDP team, so that's some nice points there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted January 15, 2017 To be honest, I don't expect anyone to die before the 21st. Total bastard. Alright, I'll award points for Snuka but what shall I do about subsequent entries? It seems harsh to give them a load of points but it would be unfair to let them start with nothing. How about making them choose 26 instead of 25? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems harsh to give them a load of points but it would be unfair to let them start with nothing. How about making them choose 26 instead of 25? You could give them as many points as the current points leader and still make them pick 25 (or it can be 24, since they've already been penalized). But I also like your idea.

The Dead Cow 620 Posted January 15, 2017 Jimmy Snuka's demise leaves 12 teams Snuka'd but signifies a superflying start for this year's Inverse Dead Pool. It also means that we now have a scoreboard.

YoungWillz 21,057 Posted January 15, 2017 Surely there's a precedent for someone dying before closing entries? I seriously doubt anyone is going to end up with zero this year. Anyhow, it is up you The Dead Cow, I don't think you actively want to discourage entries by say imposing a points penalty on those entering now so Adding a name is a possible solution. Meantime Snuka was on my list of guaranteed exits, so I was never picking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted January 15, 2017 Surely there's a precedent for someone dying before closing entries? This is the first time that it's happened and there doesn't seem to be anything in the original rules which deal with such a situation. I've never felt comfortable introducing rules to someone else's game, perhaps Spade could offer us a suggestion. Anyhow, it is up you The Dead Cow, I don't think you actively want to discourage entries by say imposing a points penalty on those entering now so Adding a name is a possible solution. Those are exactly my thoughts. I wouldn't mind handing out points to subsequent entries if this had happened later in the entry period, but because it's so early on, I don't feel as if it would be wise to do so. I think I'll stick with the extra name as a solution for now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro67 232 Posted January 15, 2017 I'd go with an extra name, but that could get messy if you get another 2 or 3 go. Also there could be news before deadline that someone in the 50 names, is suddenly opening on the west end/taking wing walking lesson's etc,effectively giving them a free pick. If you went down the points route, you could award the average rounded up points in the table at any point they submit a team. EG as it stands now 84 points across 24 teams would round up to a 4 point start with 24 names entered ). Just a thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
