Great work tallying up the scores! I just take them as they are ;). But yes, the problem is that the winning strategy here is simply to jump from one hospice case to another. I basically submitted a team with about 10 bad picks, because I knew that as long as I can replace the good picks with other good picks, I can score well. Now, such a game might be a good idea, because it's something we don't really have yet. But I think it is not what you wanted it to be? In this case, I would suggest closing it down. An opportunistic pool wouldn''t even need a beginners' pool of 20. Maybe only 10. Once you are above 10 you run out of "good" names, and you end up with people like, say, Pelé, who might take their time. Introducing some kind of queue might be interesting though. Then the game becomes some kind of "mid-distance run". We don't have a lot of games like that, maybe only the Poker Pool with it's 7 months.

Derek Draper actually seems to finally be improving. Here he's pictured on a wheelchair in the garden: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10616953/Kate-Garraways-frail-husband-Derek-Draper-smiles-creates-garden.html

Jean Potvin a hit for me here

George Boscawen, 9th Viscount Falmouth is an unique hit for @Thatcher CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Actually she seems to be in a wheelchair in the first 2 photos… look carefully behind her, there’s handles on the chair

Quiros is not even in a wheelchair in those pictures and can look at the camera. Seems to be in good health. I thought she had Alzheimer's based on the picture from February 2021 where she was holding a therapy doll, usually used in dementia care, I might've been wrong. Or atleast it isn't advanced.

A possibility, she dodging front-line work and moonlighting on the side, maybe by way of doing video clips for hire, because paying off $12 million is proving more of a strain than the public realize.

Roman general and statesman Gaius Julius Caesar died on this day 2066 years ago, aged 55.

VIC-KY WICKET 4/50 13th March 2022 Former English racing driver Vic Elford has died after a long battle with cancer. Elford was an accomplished multi-purpose race driver with records in rally and in Formula 1, and he won the 1967 European Rally Championship. In 1968 he won the Monte Carlo Rally and the 24 Hours Daytona in consecutive weeks. He competed in the Le Mans race eight times, and was considered one of its most dogged competitors. Later he competed in NASCAR, saying that if drove, he could race it. However, if he was respected for his skills, it was for his humanity he won even more plaudits, stopping his racing car in the Le Mans race in 1972 to try and save two drivers from a fiery crash. The announcement of ill health in early 2021 gave him a Crowdsourced Deathlist debut, and it is perhaps the last telling fact that Vic Elford lasted over a year in hospice care with lung cancer aged 86.

KILL HER QUICK 3/50 2nd February 2022 Italian actress Monica Vitti has died to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. Vitti was best known for her roles in long time partner Michelangelo Antonioni films such as La Notte, and L’Ecclise, the latter of which she appeared alongside future TCD alumnus Alain Delon. In 2011 it was revealed she had been suffering from Alzheimer's since the 1990s. This was her 4th appearance on the list.

another Fox News journalist killed in the same attack that injured Hall https://mobile.twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1503749018102472709 Third confirmed to be Ukrainian journalist Alexandra Kurshyniva, likely the Fox News "fixer" (translator, introducing the foreign team to on the ground contacts, etc.) in Kyiv

they may have found out something new when they were informed of Zakrzewski's death, but IDK. there was twitter chatter that there have been 3 international journalists killed already earlier today. 2 we know, and if the twitter chatter was real, Hall may have passed of his injuries - remains to be seen though
