Actually, replacing any name is not allowed, unless the name dies prior to the start of the month. I just checked and didn't see anything on Ricksen's passing. Prophet?

I was waiting for the last entry from Yorkshire Banker to come in and never saw that it was posted. I am getting too many pools running and lost track of this one. I am working on the final grid now and will have it posted today. Thanks for playing and staying up with it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormfarmer 427 Posted December 17, 2018 Things have sure slowed down at the end of the year! Could that mean a huge rush at the finish?? Looks like 13 teams have made the full race to the end. GCReptile looks like a sure lock to win the inaugural contest, even with a double points week coming up at the end of the month. I have a lot of pools going these days (either I am running or playing), so I am unsure about if I will restart this one for 2019. If I do, it will probably start a week late into Jan, and I will change a couple of the rules to make it less complicated what names you can enter each month. I do appreciate the effort the 12 of you have put in, and hope that Sean is back up and running soon. Here is the final set of 2018 teams! As always, please check your lists for accuracy.

Wormfarmer 427 Posted January 2, 2019 On 30/12/2018 at 15:36, Sir Creep said: Give them a 1-month playoff I HATE to play a whole year and end it in a tie! One tiebreaking criteria I use in another pool is that the player to reach the high score first, breaks the tie. In this case GCreptile would hang onto the trophy, and Cap Cho would have needed one more point to take it away. However, I have been through all 19 pages of this thread and cannot find that I ever proposed the rule for this pool. So, I think I would like to take Sir Creep's idea and try to break the tie ASAP with a playoff. Both teams please submit a 10 name list via PM to me ASAP, which I will then post to the thread. It will be a sudden death playoff, ther first one to get any hit with a QO will win. If the hit occurs on both lists, the one who had the name nearer the top will win. We will crown a winner yet! I will start a new thread within a few days for the 2019 version of this pool, so check back if you are interested in trying again. It will be a little less complicated. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
