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. (with appropriate leap year adjustments as required).

David Stern died on 1st January and scored 365 points, so it works out.

Deleted.  It's true but mean.  And as we all know I'm strictly pleasant and uplifting around here.

I think nearly everyone except the top 2 had Chris Doleman? Traffic jam near the top.

Aye, exactly - so it's the full days left after they die that score a point

Just looked at the masterlist and noticed Vishwesha Teertha on 3 teams is still listed

He died Dec 29(DNS) and got same day obit

On it, once I've quaffed a coffee and some fine flapjack from the local WI

 

That'll strengthen Crem's team by dropping Vera Lynn into the action for him

With Chris Doleman dead that's 18 different picks dead without a winner - feels like a lot.  

 

(yep just checked - took 9 picks dying in 2019 and 11 in 2018).

Oh aye, and two of those fielding subs for Teertha are on the podium so the new talent on Crem's team is Vera Lynn whilst Chorizo's recent surge up the running order could become almost unstoppable if Manolis Glezos pegs out

 

Seriously, I'm thinking someone's gonna take this in the next ten days!

This year, the race is more like a 110m hurdles competition with everyone repeatedly stumbling with every jump, yet the finish line comes slowly closer.

Since Glezos became the sub for Ed Battle,shouldn't my 2nd sub Javier Perez De Cuellar be the sub for Teertha

Yeah, he is - my bad which I spotted once I opened the careful filing system that maintains the whole operation (one Word doc with all the teams in it and the words IN PLAY every time I put a sub on). You'll see the ex Secretary General (who may or may not have witnessed the most amazing UFO abduction ever) is now in action for you.

Aye, those shorter races often end in a close finish too and we're at the point now where the points on offer for a death could drag a few further down the order into contention but not quite over the line. 

 

I spend half of every day fending off sports reporters who say: "The world is watching this Maryport, which way d'ya think it's gonna go?"

John Andretti has died, which means I think Rad has won it?

If so, poetic that a racecar driver sees Rad cross the finish line of this speedy pool

Oh, wow... I'd intended to - at least temporarily - quit the forum (lot of stuff going on in my personal life, deadpooling a big distraction) after my previous post 2 weeks ago.

 

But then this morning something told me to log back on one last time and at first I thought "wow, my spidey senses wanted me to know that Deathray reacted assholishly to my tattoo? greeeat LOL" until I realized I was also a hair away from winning the Deathrace!

 

Now, back from classes, check Twitter to see Andretti's died... fuck sake I really won it a second time in a row?

So, for the record - that'll be a q/o by our standards - https://eu.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2020/01/30/john-andretti-dies-age-5-x-colon-cancer-he-indycar-and-nascar-driver/3822509002/

Aye, that would appear to be the case 

 

So for the stattos, 40 teams entered, 36 on the scoreboard before we hit 21 deaths at which point we seem to have a winner and 19 teams into four figures - some Deathrace records broken there I think though - personally speaking - I'm nowhere near anal enough to be bothered about serious investigation thereof. 

 

That said, here's the scoreboard above 1000 points which I'll leave to fester for a few hours in case some barrel scraper pegged out yesterday and hits local paper headlines in the next day or so. 

 

Feel free to alert me if that happens, if not then around the time I log in religiously to check out Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on Six Music (8-00 Sunday) I'll contact Rad Guy and seek guidance on a suitable prize
