2026 Death Pool Official Rules The objective of this pool is to compile a list (roster) of individuals whom you predict will pass away during the 2026 calendar year. Participation and Roster Creation · Roster Size: Each valid entry must consist of a roster of exactly 10 different individuals. · Eligibility Criteria: All selected individuals must be at least 18 years old at the time of your entry submission. People currently on death row are strictly prohibited selections. Registered users of FFToday and/or theDanZone are ineligible to be selected for any roster. Animals are not permitted as selections. · Fame Requirement: All selections must be generally recognizable public figures (e.g., celebrities, politicians, prominent athletes). They must be well-known enough that their name can be quickly verified via a standard Google or Wikipedia search. You cannot select private citizens such as neighbors or teachers. · Naming Conventions: Full and correct legal names are required. Avoid descriptive placeholders such as "Steve Irwin's baby" or "Michael Jackson's accuser." · Entry Limit and Submission: Participants may submit multiple entries. However, the entry with the latest timestamp will be considered the valid entry; all prior submissions are immediately voided. Pool Timeline · Start Date: January 1, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. · End Date: December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Scoring and Standings · Scoring Method: A person's score is calculated by subtracting their age at the time of death from 100 points (Score = 100 - Age). Higher scores are better. · Roster Management: Rosters are final once submitted (and not subsequently voided by a newer submission). There will be no mid-year trading of selections or free-agent pickups. · Age Verification: If multiple ages are reported for a deceased person across different news sources, the age listed most frequently across reliable sources will be used as the official age for scoring purposes. · Standings: The official standings will be ranked first by the total number of points scored, and second (as a tiebreaker) by the total number of correctly predicted deaths. Administration and Dispute Resolution · Spelling: Please make every effort to spell names correctly to ensure accurate tracking and scoring (this is especially important for names with complex spellings). · Commissioner's Ruling: In the event of any rule dispute or unforeseen circumstance not covered by these rules, the commissioner retains all authority and will have the final say. >>>> DEATH POOL ENTRY FORM <<<<
