****** UPDATE: Resurrecting the Death Pool for 2026...

[posty 2,824]

This is going to be a one-year trial run for 2026...  If it goes well, I will continue for 2027...

- Rosters will consist of 10 people that you will think will die during the year.
- Scoring will be their current age subtracted from 100.
- People currently on death row are not allowed to be on rosters.
- There will be no trading of people and no free agent pickups during the year.
- The Death Pool will run from January 1, 2026, 00:00am ET to December 31, 2026, 11:59pm
- Rosters must consist of people that most people would have heard of or can be found with a quick Google or Wikipedia search.  You cannot use, my next door neighbor, my teacher, etc.
- If a person dies with different ages listed, the age used will be the one that is listed more frequently.  Hopefully all of the outlets will not use the same newsfeed.
- Registered users of FFToday and/or TheDanZone are NOT allowed to be on a roster.
- Names such as "Steve Irwin's baby" or "Michael Jackson's accuser" are not allowed. You MUST list a name.
- Animals are not allowed.
- Please make an effort to spell the persons name correctly, especially if you are entering people with Al-Qaeda ties and other types of names similar type.
- Any dispute and the commissioner, me, will have final say. 
- You will be able to enter as many times as you wish, but the entry that will be used will be the one with the latest time stamp...  All previous entries will be voided...

When did the crazy OP ever stop with the death pool? He’s so crazy, he now doesn’t even realize he still continues doing it.

Can we make a rule that if you are involved in the celebrity's death, you don't get the points? 

If it's deemed self-defense, you still don't get the points, but you get to replace the pick.

If a dude is over 100, you score negative points for him.
