I know somebody mentioned Michael Medwin the other day on here, but coincidentally he had popped into my mind the day before as a "Blimey, is he still alive?" name, so into my lists he went. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted December 29, 2019 On 21/11/2019 at 16:08, maryportfuncity said: 3 - Entries close promptly at midnight on 30 December and entry can be made either by sending a team of twenty to MPFC via PM hereabouts and/or by posting a team of twenty on the Deathrace 2020 thread. 4 - Players score points every time a team member dies and accrues an obit (see point 9 below) and the score for each death is calculated as one point for each complete calendar day remaining in 2020 after the death of the team member; so a death on 1 January earns 364 pts, a death on 2 January earns 363 pts etc. @The Old Crem midnight tommorrow night. @maryportfuncity Rule 4 needs updating for the leap year doesn't it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted December 29, 2019 Reet gang - update 23 teams in and gathered into the masterlist Given the current workload we're past the point where the casual mistake of forgetting who your joker is is negotiable so a couple of teams have the default (top name on the list) pick. Expecting some of the obvious absent big guns to enter in the final 24 hours but as of this post the teams listed in the first post on the thread are ready for action and we'd have a decent contest if nobody joined them.

msc 18,490 Posted December 29, 2019 I literally just remembered to nab a Joker before pressing send. You'd assume after 9 years of Deathracing I'd remember (and I suppose I did, so job done)! Team in for the attempted shot at a 3rd title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
