I believe entries are closed now? Jill Gascoine died since the last post. 
 

EDIT: Ah, she’s also the one worth 40 for me. Sometimes randomized lists do bring you fruit...

I amended the cutoff to closing until a 15th entry comes in, although things are not exactly buzzing right now.  I figure I can manage a little bigger field than this and there isn't too much disadvantage to joining the game in progress, since there are lots of promising scores left in the draft pool.  So I will set to work organizing the entries to date, but not close the door to a few more.  Hopefully have a table posted by the end of the day.    And nice hit (Jill G) for minimum effort.

Little Richard is a hit for some here included me

Jerry Stiller is another hit here

Score table early on page 1 is updated through Jerry Stiller, who was our last hit over 30 days ago.  This drought also triggers the games early demise.  I have been distracted to the point of not checking in to the site regularly lately while a family member is going through some health issues and will probably be off for a while anyway, so although this is an unsatisfying early end to my pool, maybe its for the best right now.  Hope to be checking in regularly again soon, maybe the obits will pick up by then as well.  Peace everyone!

Well, I was not expecting that.  

In my defense re the random team, I was quite stressed with the transition to online school and so I didn’t really have a lot of time to think of a more thoughtful entry. I guess that’s how things go sometimes...

Wanted to see how this has done a few months after the pool ended. If I did my math correctly my score is 217. I don’t know if I would still be in the lead today though, but I’m quite impressed with how it’s done so far...
