Think it’s one of the lurking teams like Buckets of Blood rather than an actual forum member...

Yep, I put Pete Frates way too high. Any minuscule chance of a comeback is finished. Oh well, time to fail the inverse pool again next year...

Boston Globe reputable enough to confirm his death I think

I'm not quite sure how to rule this, particularly because of this rule above. While it may be true Ajoy Roy died before Kiefer did, they did die on two different days, and Kiefer died before the day Roy did. I dunno. I think I'm going to leave it up to the other contestants to decide the winners. If they think drol should win though, I may have to clarify this rule clearer for next year...

Surely something better will come, but for now he’s been mentioned in some UK live feed for the time being...

Well done reptile. I’ll wait two days in the off chance someone else turns out to have died before Kiefer, but nonetheless, congrats on your win.

Yep, count me as one who probably would’ve picked her had she seen 2020.

Alright, just finished replacing the 30 points given to Big Bird and adding someone else's extremely eclectic picks. We are at 12, which is less than last year at this point, but nonetheless an interesting competition going on right now.

If somehow none of the above dies by Christmas Day, then there would be no winner. Surely one of them have to go by then though, right?

Facebook seems to have Herb Cox as dead...

It's weird, with the amount of good names out there somebody should have won this by now, but didn't. Although, the first ever Advent Avalanche didn't end until December 10th or so...

Once again, I need to remind folk that putting a name twice on a list does not constitute in them getting more points.

Surprisingly, it’s not him, particularly because one fan of his have yet to submit a list yet...

Seems like a lot of people from the 2019 list has a lot of fans. By this I mean that I had to disqualify 3 names when I did a snapshot of the current standings. Also, two names who generally rank fairly high on the list were close to getting the boot. However, they are safe, for now. (I’m using the snapshot as a way to track the top 50 overtime to see what changes may have occurred over time). Also, one extremely strange name made it on to the top 50. Yes, even stranger than the Pokémon dude... Of course there’s still time to have your voice heard for the list, although this is typically the time where the least amount of people submit a list anyways...

Carter never had pancan, he had melanoma

Cut some more names off, and yeah, can really tell that pairing this short list down to 20 will be extremely difficult, ngl...

Someone forgot their schtick...

Feeling better after hospitalization

Gotta be the biggest fall from grace in the race, going from clearly winning the first debate to becoming a complete no hoper

I know it's super late for this, but I was looking at the 2019 teams, and I stumbled onto The Tour Never Ends. Surely that's a music team looking at their picks...

Shame to see you go @Dr_T, but I must congratulate you on an excellent performance of yours in both 2018 and 2019. That’s certainly an achievement if I say so myself...

Has there ever been a situation where we know they died and got a QO but we have no idea of what there age is? I’m just curious...

No word on what his age is though...

Can you please quit posting in the extra curricular thread for deaths? There’s already a thread for that topic right here:

Hits 10 and 11 happened I believe with Clive James and Stuart Fraser
