Re: 5th Annual (2008 Version) Celebrity Death Pool!
I bet no one had Nurse Chapel.
Do you guys have a linear weighted point system? Say 1.1 points for 50-60 years old, 1 point for 60-70 years old, .9 for 70-80, etc?
Are the rules posted anywhere, is there money involved and can I get in the 2009 pool? |

There is a prize, but no entry fee. The rules are in post #1 on the first page. The only weighting is the tiebreaker.

The prize is sometimes in the form of an Amazon.com gift certificate, if RT happens to have one on hand. If not, it's the glory of beating the rest of the field...

Don't take it personal.
I'm sure it's only business, Abe Vigoda always liked you.

I didn't get a prize last year. So maybe I should get two prizes?

You don't consider being known as the Angel of Death 2 years in a row prize enough? |

Lansana Conté died last night (number two). And Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah (number 4) died this past May (walking through his garden, just like Don Corleone).
