1. You pick 20 celebrities whom you predict will die within the calendar year 2006. If any of your celebrities dies, you score 100 points minus their age at death. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins.
2. All picks must be done before 8/1/07.
3. Valid picks must not be:
a. already dead
b. a fictional character
c. non-human
d. under age 18 at death
4. You can pick people who are age 100 or more but you won't score points for them. See the "Quantity Not Quality" award, below.
5. If there is uncertainty about the celebrity's age at death, I will go with the higher age (lower score).
6. Your picks must specify a name: listings like "anybody from the cast of friends" as a pick will be ignored.
7. Persons under sentence of death will be valid for scoring points only if they die by means other than official execution.
8. Feel free to post your choices here, or alternatively send me your list to my email address if you do not want to tip off others. I will prepare my own list before looking at any of the emails.
Please try to spell celebrities' names correctly, or help me by identifying them in more detail.
Some celebrities have common names or similar names. It is helpful to specify whether you're picking Barbara Bush, the former First Lady or Barbara Bush, her granddaughter, to use examples from the past.
Additional awards:
The "Quantity Not Quality" Award: to be awarded to the poster or posters who pick the greatest number of celebrities who died, regardless of their actual point value.
The "Inside Track with the Grim Reaper" Award: to be awarded to the poster or posters who pick a celebrity that no one else picked.
The "Opening Kickoff" Award: to be awarded to the poster or posters who pick the first listed celebrity to die in 2007.
The "Final Hours" Award: to be awarded to the poster or posters who pick the last listed celebrity to die in 2007.
The "Dead? They're all Alive" Award: to be awarded to the person who picked the most celebrities that lived in the year of 2007
any PMs after 8th will be included but a penalty of 5 points per day late will be enpowered BEGIN
