Not all of these are final IE if Brown is your sub and you haven't specified a higher slot you're free to do so, likewise if you have yet to indicate a new sub pick. Those who I've @ ed will need to give me a new name as they do not currently have a full team. I'll get started on entering Dr T, Spade, GUN, and manuel's teams shortly Forgot the subs bit. How dare Mrs C pass on so quick. Can I get Jill Gascoine in there. And if another sub is needed then June Brown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

machotrouts 828 Posted January 18, 2019 Reigning champion fighting to keep my inverse crown. (An inverse crown is very uncomfortable and I don't recommend wearing one.)

Not even close enough to death's door for a theme team that stooped to including Demi Lovato. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,964 Posted January 19, 2019 And the door for entries slams shut. machotrouts's team will be entered and the stats posted in a few hours time. Good luck to all, and my sincerest gratitude to Prince Philip for not dying in that car accident and sparing me another substitution nightmare! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,964 Posted January 19, 2019 STATS AND FACTS The Inverse Dead Pool has seen its most robust participation rate yet, with 48 teams entered (+12 compared to last year). Like last year, no name was unanimously picked or excluded (3 teams at worst, 46 teams at best). The names to come closest to being unanimous picks were the Donald, Her Maj, and Gazza, who were only omitted by two teams each. CaptainChorizo left out Gascoigne, Sir Creep's daughter (whose team was picked by randomly choosing numbers) didn't land Trump or Elizbaeth, and msc's deliberate "take one for the team" excluded all three! The people's choice for 2019 is as follows, sorted by overall points, but with the amount of teams to plump for them also included. The top four remains identical to last year (last year's #5, Angela Lansbury, narrowly missed out on being selectable again). Trump may well start keeping copies of Inverse Dead Pool stats in the Oval Office considering how popular he is here! Name Total Points Total # of Teams 1. Donald Trump 1048 46 2. Queen Elizabeth II 988 46 3. Paul Gascoigne 972 46 4. Dick Van Dyke 838 43 5. Linda Nolan 777 42 6. Billy Connolly 750 43 7. Jimmy Carter 662 43 8. Betty White 540 40 9. Terry Jones 539 39 10.

Prince Philip 352 34 18. Valerie Harper 347 32 19. Olivia de Havilland 330 32 20. Jimmy Greaves 307 26 21. Olivia Newton-John 282 25 22. Michael Robinson 257 24 =23. June Brown 235 23 =23. Greg Gilbert 235 25 25. Vera Lynn 228 25 The people's choice for 2018, if an actual team, would have finished at =8th place with 36 points. Carol Channing would've been a big landmine had she lasted a few more days... which names out of the above will follow suit and shake up the scoreboard this year? On the flip side, few anticipate this lot making it through 2019: Name Total Points Total # of Teams 1. Kathleen Blanco 25 3 2. Andrew Fairlie 38 3 3. Jean-Louis Trintignant 49 6 4. Lee Kerslake 59 7 =5. Johnny Clegg 64 7 =5. Andrew McGahan 64 5 7. Nobby Stiles 73 11 8. Fernando Ricksen 74 7 9. Herman Wouk 82 7 10. Clive James 85 12 Though it is worth noting that only half of last year's bottom ten actually died. And two of the survivors of that (Vervoort and Gilbert) are on over half of this year's teams! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
