Sorry for the delay, just returned from a trip over NY.

It appears Dr. Girlfriend won several awards:

The _Inside Track with The Grim Reaper_ for having three unique picks, The _Opening Kickoff_ award for Bob Uecker (January 14th), the _Quantity Not Quality_ award for 3 total picks, and the _2025 THEMED Death Pool Championship_ with a total of 78 points. Consolation to _GIGObuster_ for a second place finish with 69 points and also winner of the _Robbing the Cradle_ award for Ananda Lewis, who was 52.

The _Final Hours_ award goes to **Shoeless** for Robert Redford.

Kudos all, see you in the 2026 Thread

That’s really surprising. Nobody scored any points since mid September? Oh well, I’ll take it!

That was my only successful pick, I only noticed much later, in post #120. But if it is good enough for a Final Hours Award, I’ll be grateful for his sacrifice.

Yay, none of my fav singers died in 2025 and I received 0 points; I consider that a win. it’s a small consolation for my 'puter dieing in May 2025.
