    Your team is entered. A couple notes:

    #1 - Oswalt substituted for Swayze (was it the fast cars that inspired this choice?)
    #5 - I presumed the actor (not the footballer)
    #8 - Presumed the actress "Dench" (not "Densch")
    #19 - I presumed the boxing promotor (not any of the others with this common name)

    I also added the 3 subs you provided -Jrabbit last year just in case.

    Lastly - No team name? It is the current trend.

      Whoever you are, your team is entered.

      #3 - Close call on eligibility (Rule 22 L) - I allowed her.
      #4 - Eligible but very obscure. An obit may be tough.
      #6 - I presumed "Jnr" - politics
      #24 - Already on your list earlier.

      Plenty of unique picks and overall a very strong team. I predict you will be a contender.

        Your team is entered. An interesting mix of young and old.

        • Don't pick Cardinal Cahal Daly.

          He has just died.

            That should be enough to disqualify him right there; we don't need any more of that sort round here.

            My formal protest will be filed shortly
            If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

              • Less than 6 hours remaining to enter a team.

                14 teams registered. We could set a new record...

                • If you think it would help out, I could submit another team or two.

                    Yeah, going older worked soooooo well for me this past year.

                          No kidding. I think that may be the most fun part of the entire game.

                          • It'll definitely be more fun than when my #1 guy dies, which is a (no pun intended) mortal lock.

                                The team lists are very good this year. Many players have moved past the tactic of just thinking of old famous people and have instead done some research. It should be a very successful pool.
