The Mad Hatter 1,092 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. Here are the scores! =1st - Angels - 0 points =1st - Bert Trautmann - 0 points =1st - Book - 0 points =1st - Deathray - 0 points =1st - Drol - 0 points =1st - gcreptile - 0 points =1st - GraveDanger - 0 points =1st - Grim Up North - 0 points =1st - msc - 0 points =1st - RadGuy - 0 points =1st - The Unknown Man - 0 points =1st - YoungWillz - 0 points =13th - Pedro67 - 1 point =13th - Switch - 1 point =15th - Death Impends - 4 points =15th - Garn2 - 4 points =17th - Dead Cow - 5 points =17th - rockhopperpenguin - 5 points =19th - CaptainChorizo - 7 points =19th - Morbidkid - 7 points =19th - Joeyruss - 7 points 22nd - Shaun of the Dead - 11 points 23rd - WednesdayAddams - 12 points 24th - Toast - 22 points Only lost seven points I can survive this.

The Dead Cow 620 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. I might just run with that idea. I've got an idea for next year's competition that should prevent such a problem from arising again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 19, 2017 It better be still allowed. No cutoff date was posted. Anyway I'll turn one in on the morrow. SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switch 141 Posted January 19, 2017 It better be still allowed. No cutoff date was posted. Anyway I'll turn one in on the morrow. SirC And we're off. Top 50 are in the OP as intended. You've got a week to enter. Good luck. It's started, although the deadline for entries is 21st January. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted January 19, 2017 I'll edit the original post to include the deadline. With regards to post-Snuka entries, I've decided to follow Pedro's suggestion of awarding the rounded average of points on the scoreboard. So every entrant subsequent to Snuka's death has been awarded 4 points. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With regards to post-Snuka entries I've decided to follow Pedro's suggestion of awarding the rounded average of points on the scoreboard. So every entrant subsequent to Snuka's death has been awarded 4 points. An equitable compromise. Can we make it to the 21st without another fatality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
