No updates since the January 12th hit and we never did get a general e-mail announcing the official 2019 results, including the youngest hit of the year. The public Facebook was updated six days ago. "The 2019 AO Deadpool is now over, with 151 hits underfoot. For the second year in a row, Allen Kirshner won first place, with 194 points and 15 hits. Captain Chorizo 2019 and Joey Russ came in a close second and third, with 179 and 178 points, respectively. Of the pool's 73 players, 71 finished with hits. TGV picked up an extra 25 year-end points for the youngest hit of the year (Chris Duncan).

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 22, 2020 Now to see if he’s taking a bit of a break or not. I had Terry Jones on my Alt Obits team. If his points come out today, then we should ask when that German actor gets a QO (who I didn’t have). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I got the email for the Jones hit, it said he might not be able to update the site until the weekend. So that might explain why no update for the German actor happened yet. It may have the actor hit in another email though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,436 Posted January 26, 2020 Leading the Alt Obits for the first time ever, thanks to a solo pick in the late Robbie Rensenbrink. Only my 2nd solo in 4 years of the game, actually. Although dropping Elizabeth Wurtzel from my 2019 squad was a bit of a faux pas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted January 29, 2020 Took nearly a month, but I'm finally on the board. I'm among those who had Chris Doleman. No bonus points as more than three people picked him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, got to keep that 37 point gap between Pan Breed and AO Guy while it lasts because it can disappear very quickly in Alt Obits! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted January 30, 2020 (In Casey Kasem American Top 40 voice) And the hits just keep on coming. I had Lucien Barbarin in the pool. I submitted an obit from the New Orleans ABC affiliate, which should suffice. Daily Double for all who had John Andretti and he, as his date of death appears to be today.

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted February 18, 2020 Not much in the way of points, but I had Henry Gray. I see at least one other person had him, probably more. Several network affiliates have picked up the obituary, waiting to see if a national one does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 21, 2020 Hm, is it possible that Henry Gray goes without a QO source. I didn’t have him on my team, but I’m trying to look for potential scoring QOs for him. Nothing seems to be out there, not even something from NOLA which scored for Lucien Barbarin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
