Reminder of the Celebrity Death Pool rules if you are planning on playing, #NASDeadPool24
1. You pick 13 celebrities (Lucky 13) plus 3 alternates, that you predict will die in the year 2024. If any of your celebrities dies, you score 100 points minus their age at death. The only stipulation is one of your 13 selections MUST be 50 years old, or younger. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year…wins. It’s rather simple.

15. Determination of who is a celebrity will remain a subjective matter, but generally defined as “the person has some known presence in the form of a Wikipedia Page and/or notoriety in the news or such” and their fame or celebrity cannot be based solely on their having a terminal illness". Sole possession of a Wikipedia page will not constitute “celebrity”. If questioned, the person who posted that individual may be required provide such evidence.

16. Questions may be raised about the appropriateness of a pick at any point after a list is posted, even after 1/1/23. Alternates picks play an important role, as “questionable” picks may be disqualified post-posting.
17. There is no exchange of money as that would be in poor taste. My plan was to create awards in the form of a graphic, but my computer drafting skills are subpar, so anyone who would like to volunteer please let me know. Perhaps some AI art awards would be sufficient?

11. Alternates are important, in the case of a pick being invalid, or a pick dying prior to January 1st. Choose wisely, because if someone dies I will take alternates in the order they are listed.
12. If a player changes their username at some point, post this news on the thread, or PM me, so I know who you are (this actually happened in 2023).

13. Tracking celebrity deaths is the job of each individual player. I will do my best but I cannot guarantee I will catch them all. Wikipedia maintains a page of deaths each month, and is an excellent reference for checking deaths.

14. I create and share a Scorekeeper in the form of an Excel Spreadsheet. I am happy to share this with any and all participants. I generally post to Google Sheet, and update it after every death that I see reported, or if a player notifies me that one of their selections has passed.

5. Valid selections CANNOT be: a. already dead b. fictional c. under age 18 d. a registered member of NAS e. hostages held by terrorist organizations f. famous solely as a result of their illness or the events surrounding their death (see rule #15 below).

6. If you have any questions about who is or is not a celebrity, feel free to post using the hashtag, #NASDeadPool24, or PM me. This is why we include 3 alternates, so if a pick is ruled invalid, your first alternate will be elevated to your list.
7. If we are uncertain about the celebrity’s age at death due to conflicting birthdates, we will go by the higher age (lower score).

8. Prisoners held on death row count only if they die by means other than official execution.
9. If you kill anyone on your list to try to get ahead or cheat, then you’re automatically disqualified.
10. Editing your choices: You can change the people on your list as many times as you wish before the deadline, just make sure that your FINAL list is known to me, otherwise I’m going to take the first 13 names on the last list I have.

2. Please check the spelling if your celebrity’s names, as editing takes up a lot of time. Also, please do not put spaces or periods between abbreviated letters. For example: “George HW Bush” instead of George H. W. Bush"

3. Players may submit lists with random names, or if you want to have fine with it, do a “themed” pool. Those posting a themed list should explain the theme.
4. All picks must be made by December 31st, 2022, at 11:59PM, CENTRAL TIME (sorry, but that’s where I am). Late entries, i.e. ANY time after midnight of Jan 1st will be turned away.
