This is probably the most macabre game ever invented. Ever been "sick to death" of nagging relos who always come out with "you know who died last week?". Well now you to can predict who is going to die and get points for it.
The rules are simple, you get 10 points for every celeb who dies in 2005 plus bonus points based on how old they are. Bonus points are awarded one for every two years that the celebrity** is aged younger than 70*, so if you were to pick John Howard who is 65 and he were to die you'd get 10 plus 2. 70-65=5 /2=2.5 (no half points)
You get to pick 10 celebrities, and it is up to my discretion as to how minor they are.
Entries Close Dec 31 with a chance to swap for half points at Jun 30.
Full tables will be posted at http://www.geocities.com/rollo75/cdbingo.htm
*70 was picked as Old Farty Pants™ are going to die anyway.
** no you can't pick "your mum"
