Wormfarmer 427 Posted April 29, 2017 Looks like I might hold on for third place in the inaugural. I have to face the fact that there are always a few people better at this than me. Maybe I am just a couple of key sources away from having the full scoop on who's ill and dying. Here is my list for the second go round. I also have an idea for a DP that I have not seen before. I might start it as a July-June pool to avoid the new year rush. Look for a new thread on this site from you friendly neighborhood Wormfarmer soon. 1 gord downey 2 violet brown 3 Michael I of Romania 4 catherine nevin 5 rod carew 6 john rigas 7 leslie Phillips 8 mel stottlemyre, sr. 9 errol christie 10 paul van-zandvliet 11 nabeel qureshi 12 bobby "the brain" heenan 13 bryan murray 14 charles manson 15 peter sallis 16 George Bush, Sr. 17 zoltan sarosy 18 barys kit 19 ruthie tompson 20 eman ahmed alternates: kirk douglas glen campbell Queen E II 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 29, 2017 So far the quality of teams appears to have improved substantially from last year. I can see some teams getting full sweeps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 29, 2017 For me, Stefansson, Nolan and Ricketts couldn't make it out of the sub benches when I sent in my team. There are just so many good options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,964 Posted April 30, 2017 Sent my team. Definitely a lot tougher this time around. Kept only six of my DDP survivors to make way for some newcomers unlikely to get a chance at glory in 2018. Though I still left Rae on the subs bench...

Gooseberry Crumble 5,341 Posted April 30, 2017 Cheers @RadGuy My list is all OK and correct thank you no mistakes! Let's see how I perform in the next year in my first Windycity! Will I surprise everyone and storm to number one, absolutely flop in a big crash and burn or something in the middle?

Grim Up North 3,725 Posted April 30, 2017 Hmmm - I really need to get a bit wiser on the QO rules for this - I shied away from Connie Johnson and Julia Perez because I simply didn't know where their obits would appear and what would count as a QO. Also I'm a bit pissed with myself that I forgot all about Johnny Halliday - that's the problem with deciding to enter at 11pm I guess! PS Is Pete Sampras ill???????????
