It's time for your 2024 submissions

 Hey folks, the year is quickly coming to a close, and it is time to get those dead pool candidate lists together.


The 22nd (?!?) year of this fine event is just around the corner. You can start making your list of names now and participate in this wholesome pastime.  It lasts for the whole year.


What is it we are talking about?   A celebrity dead pool for the year 2024.


(Please forward to whomever you think might also want to play.)

Submit directly to [ iamcorrect@gmail.com and/or  majikwah@gmail.com]

On Jan 1, 2025, the winner is announced.

The Rules:
Any deaths must be recorded by an Associated Press biography or an announcement from CelebrityDeathBeeper.com

All entries must be received by 12/31/223 at midnight. In the event,
a name on your list dies between 12/31/23 midnight and 01/01/24
12:01, the alternate name on your list moves on to the list.  (Late submissions through January will be accepted; however, only eight names and no alternative will count.)

Points are awarded for the following:

Age of the dead (oldest- least points * youngest -most points.):
Oldest 4 points
Youngest 6 points
Active deaths
First corpse – 4 points
Last corpse – 5 points
Most names on the list – 18 points per list.
Suicide – 10 points
Under 65 – 4 points
Under 55 – 4 points (in addition to the under 65 points awarded.)
(The MJ clause)
If you personally kill a celebrity to increase your point scoring,
you are disqualified.
(The Schiavo Clause.)
There are no points for any deaths whose only act of dying made them famous. This means the oldest man or woman alive won’t get points. It also means that a famous illness to an otherwise stranger, resulting in death, wouldn’t count as a celebrity dead pool death.
(Can’t Get Crap Together Rule)
Late submissions through January will be accepted; however, only eight names count.

2023 Lists


*A notah on the Pope-ah

In the days preceding the New Year of 2023, a couple notables died:  Barbara Walters, and Darth Pope.  What makes this interesting you will see those folks are on many lists this year.  This is because I got the lists about a week ago.  What does this mean for points?  If you put down one of the aforementioned people above on your list for 2023, you do NOT get points.  However, we have a contingency built in just for this – the alternate.  You’ll see most lists have 10 names listed, and then an alternate.  That alternate slot covers any celeb who dies between submission and publication of the list.
