Dead Pool 2011: The Race to Beat Huey Again
« on: December 09, 2010, 11:13:03 AM »
The most magical time of the year is almost upon us.

If I could have my way, I'd say: same rules as this year and shut your fat gob if you feel otherwise...

a) Rank your picks 1-10 and be awarded points by ranking
b) Add one bonus point for each decade under 90
c) Deduct one penalty point for each person other than yourself who picked the same person
d) Each correct pick would be guaranteed a minimum of 1 point, regardless of deductions
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of 2011, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)

THUNDERDOME: ON.

(And let the whining begin...)
Loor and I came acrossks like opatoets.

Also: just like last year, I say we do submissions by email.

Suppose I could have mentioned that as well.

Same creepy email address as last year, PM me if you don't have it.

God dammit.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Reminder: I won't actually be reading your emails until I've put together my own list and the time comes to tally up everyone's entries.

So I won't be responding to emails sent to the dead pool email address... Chuck.

In related news, so far I appear to have lists from TJ and TEC.

What happens if we submit now, and someone on our list carps it before the end of the year?  Are we allowed to put in a substitute pick at no. 11?

I don't know if you've ever heard of a website called "Hire Jim Essian", but it has a shoutbox where some of us hang out, shoot the shit, talk about the Dead Pool, that kind of thing.  You'd be very welcome there, I feel sure.

Perhaps, in the future, you make your list before asking for submissions.

Everyone's 11th pick is still Al Yellon.

Between Elizabeth Edwards and Richard Holbrooke, I've had to revise my list twice. So now instead of giving eternal life, I just have to think about someone to make them expire.

Finally, in terms of logistics, we'd have to set up some way of submitting picks that hides them from prying eyes until all the picks are in. I could set up a dedicated email address for submissions, though, and you all could just trust my pinkie swear that I wouldn't peek at them until I've posted my own picks.

I'll guess, due to the wittiness, that this is an autoresponder as well.
