Derby Dead Pool 2019

Recommended Posts

GUN Fishing and GUN Away both now in.

 

Everyone will be pleased to learn no common team members - GUN Away is very much the cast offs that didn't make it into the Fishing pond with a joker who probably won't get a QO.

39 arrested for attempted murder + the victim of the attempted murder = 2 DDP teams if we assume these are fragile beings over the age of 18 who might not do too well when holed up under archaic joint enterprise bollocks.

@Spade_Cooley probably not the time for theoretical questions, but we're a team to be submitted as Arrestee No 1, Aresstee No 2, Arrestee No 3 etc would it be accepted?

First ever Theme Team submitted - Westerns

 

GUN Fight at the Not O.K. Corral

 

Now to get on with the serious stuff. 

Could have been GUN For Pyre (Play on Gun For Hire).

 

Less than 10 hours to go, I'm absolutely bricking it that another of my picks bites the dust.

It could have been - that was one I didn't think of myself.

 

It was originally GUN Down but I'm pretty happy with the final name.

Two teams submitted (and confirmed), both containing the survivors of my 2018 entries with replacements where necessary. 

 

It's not the winning its the taking part.

To Kill A Gabor Sister 2019 is in.

 

Hoping this is the year I finally crack the top 10, but I doubt it. Feels like there's something missing from my team... too many punts and oldies, not enough reliable high-scorers. Oh, well, we'll see how it goes.

Cancel My Appointments back for year 4.  Hoping to crack top 30, top 20 actually.  Made lots of major overhauls the last 18 hours all cuz of QOs and I suck at guessing those.  So tried to take guessing out of it.
Best of luck to all players and all celebs for that matter.

'Going Underground' in for season 14

 

Only just cracked the top 40 (so far) this year.  Rubbish.

 

Looking at my team this year I reckon a top 20 is a possibility but who knows eh.

 

BBC local obits back in 2019 so no repeat of the Toothill debacle. :)

 

Cheers in advance Spade. Sterling work my man,
