Anyway, post from the person eulogizing Mr. Sutherland. He died on March 27th accordingly. Obit posted in New Zealand Herald on March 30. Alls I know. Unfortunately I can’t count social media posts, as they can literally be written by anybody. You still got four hours to find a suitable obit, but the clock is certainly ticking...

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 31, 2020 no of course not re: FB The previous is direct from the NZ Herald. That is another story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted March 31, 2020 Despite the death of Larry Eckhardt making things a little less lopsided, the point difference is sufficient for me to concede. I don't foresee a massive last-minute comeback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torva Messor 278 Posted March 31, 2020 I too submitted a team, even though my prediction my opponent would get a hit happened (even if it hasn't yet an obit). Maybe a third of my April team will be subject to the Rackture. One can hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted March 31, 2020 With every of the expected competitors in, we unfortunately have to say goodbye to Spade Cooley. An impressive run last year, and certainly gave an impressive run this time, but unfortunately it seems like there’s a curse for those who went in the top two the previous year (Deadsox being an outlier from 2017)...
