Alright, a more in-depth list from me: Willie Nelson - Yes, he may still be performing, but did you see his duet with Kacey Musgraves? The man is clearly struggling to take a breath there, and it’s honestly kind of hard to watch. Seems to be on his last legs there, and I really it’s the committee’s last chance to bring him on Genesis P-orridge - I think she’d make a perfect number 50 candidate for 2020. Similar to Mark E Smith and Johnny Clegg she’s very much a cult music name and she really had a big impact on industrial music in general. She’s definitely deathlisty imo As for some more old folk, Buzz Aldrin is one I think should be on the list. Never had an astronaut before, but I think he’d be a great addition to the list. Also Clint Eastwood Oh, and bring back Leslie Phillips. Definitely do that if nothing else.

It’s not so easy being green...

If there’s one thing I’m confident that the committee will do, it’ll be ignoring American sports folk unless they have transcended that fame like Joe DiMaggio

William Ruckleshaus, who was among those who quit during the infamous Saturday Night Massacre done by Nixon has died at 87

The points of Clive James have been scattered down now...

Anyone went with Clive James? I didn’t go along

Th- th- that’s all folk.

So Clive James was at 143 points when he died. Honestly, I’m kind of glad he went now, as the early voting is showing that a lot of the survivors on this year’s list seem likely to be in the top 50...

Now it’s two, although I didn’t have him...

Still hospitalized and filming suspended.

And with that our first two names have crossed the 2019 crowdsource minimum point score to enter the list...

Says that the cancer will be the death of him...

George Clements, best known for becoming the first priest to adopt a child has has died at 87

Right, another list is in and now nobody has appeared on every single list. I should also note that at this time it is still technically possible to qualify onto the list with 50 points, although one or two more entrants will probably change that. Exciting, I know...

Doug Lubahn, who played the bass on many of The Doors recording is dead at 71

It’s your list, so yeah, that’s perfectly fine. Make sure to name a couple of subs in case some of the above don’t make it to 2020. And if you would like to use that list as a crowdsource submission I will be happy to put it in.

Michael Bloomberg entered the 2020 race. Because we clearly need more than one billionaire in the race...

After a 5th list entry, we have only one name appearing on every single list. And no one will probably be able to guess who it is. Probably...

Right, since I don’t think I’ll be getting anymore entries today, here’s a bit of a very early sneak peak on the standings so far. You might be asking, what is the number one person as of now? Well, I have no clue how to describe it, just know that they’re there. As for the person in number 2, I can safely say they won’t be giving out any anxiety about potentially not making the list this time around. The one in third place was one I thought might’ve had a chance of just not making it, but so far it looking pretty good for them to make it to next years list. As for the ones that have appeared on every list so far, there’s three of them. However, only one of them are also in the top 3. One of the other two I can say is kind of in a similar boat as the person leading. They’ll both be on the list though barring death. As for the third name, I can guarantee that I can give everyone a guess on who this person is and they’d all fail. Quite fascinating tbh. I realized that while I meant to have the entries start today, for some reason I wrote it down a day later. Tbf, I was still waking up when I wrote that post, so that might be why that happened. But for those confused (lol, my bad), you can send in your entries if you thought it began a day later now. Or you can wait till the 30th of December, I don’t care either way tbh...

Douchet not a possibility for 2020. By which I mean he’s dead

Right, that's four lists in as of now, and it's already turning out to be a fascinating race...

Right, I believe that it’s midnight in the UK. Which means I’m going to start accepting lists right about... now!

Form Guide #1 - Willie Nelson Will Willie be on the minds of the Deathrace players for 2020? We’ll have to wait and see...

Just to clear up any potential confusion, I will start accepting entries as soon as it turns to midnight in the UK to turn from the 22nd to the 23rd. Meaning that around 7 pm Eastern Time in the US you’re good to send in your list if you want to then. Or you can wait till December 30th, I’m fine either way tbh...
