2010 Celebrity Death Pool - Opus - 12-20-2009

For those of you who do not know what this is or how to play, I will explain.

You will choose 10 different celebrities who as of 12/31/2009 @ 11:59 PM are still living. (Yes you can edit your selections if you choose now and someone dies before the end of the year). Any edits after 11:59 PM on 12/31/09 will disqualify you from the game.

For these picks, if one of the people actually pass on in 2010 you will get points. The poster with the most points at 11:59 PM 12/31/2010 will win the pool.

Scoring is as follows: (I chose to do it this way to circumvent the cherry picking of old celebrities)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will get points based on the month the celebrity passes. There are 12 months in a year, so there are 12 possible points. The way it is scored is to take the month that the celebrity passes and subtract it from 13. IE... If Jane Doe is one of your picks and she expires in May of 2010, you will get 8 points (13 minus 5)

You also will get points based on the celebrities age. The most points I will award is 100. So again, in our example, Jane Doe, if she is 67 years old when she passes, you will get 33 points. (100 minus 67).

The two scores combined will equal your awarded score for each correct pick. So Jane Doe would have earned you 41 points.

If you choose someone that is over 100 years of age, IE... John Doe is 103 years old and passes in September of 2010, you will still get the 4 points for passing in September, but you will actually lose 3 because of the 100 minus age rule. Thus you will score 1. It is possible to gain a negative score.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will try and update a list of players and their scores as the year goes on and then determine the winner at the end of the year.

The second post will contain everyones picks (edited in as they are posted) and the third post will be my picks.

Not if you set it to your correct time zone and make sure Daylight Savings Time is turned off.

Ok, I'll just shut my big fat mouth then! lol

Re: 2010 Celebrity Death Pool - Philly Mike - 01-01-2010

I had the DST settings off. It was 11:40 when i made the change not 12 I was watching the new years rockin eve countdown when it happened, check my settings you will see i did not change anything. hell check this timestamp now It is 4:37 and I am sure you can see if i changed any of my settings at any time.

Re: 2010 Celebrity Death Pool - Philly Mike - 01-01-2010

not that it matters either way though. It's no big deal either way It's not like we actually win anything for this.

Re: 2010 Celebrity Death Pool - zdunklee - 01-01-2010

It also says he posted it at 11:40pm on mine, I think Mike should get that change, is your timestamp off Opus?

on mine i did notice the timestamp says 12:40 but i know it wasn't that time. The problem is all in the DST setting, and if it's set or not.

Re: 2010 Celebrity Death Pool - Biff - 01-01-2010
