You don't need to submit a team yet, you just have to declare that you're taking part. Ninja'd!

Is 42 meant to be Tim Smith?

One and a half cubits or six and a half hands.

Laurie Anderson once sang "now that the living outnumber the dead". Well, that's evidently not true of 1924-born celebrities. Popular pick Christopher Tolkien brings the pack of 25 down to 12. @bmugnoz @chilean way @Deathray @Nayrolf @Neobrakeon and @Prophet are now rushing to be first to pick Daniel arap Moi, who I hear is a picture of health and not on life support, no way.

RESULTS As there were no changes aside from the death of unpicked M. C. Beaton, @An Fear Beag is indeed this year's winner! Major props to @The Mad Hatter as well, who tied for points but ultimately lost out when it came to hits. Another tiebreak further down was decided on hits – Chorizo coming in at 6th whilst fellow 100-pointer Unknown Man settles for 7th. 1. An Fear Beag - 115 2. The Mad Hatter - 115 3. theoldlady - 107 4. Book - 106 5. msc - 104 6. CaptainChorizo - 100 7. The Unknown Man - 100 8. Pedro67 - 99 9. FixedBusiness - 98 10. Death Impends - 94 11. Banana - 83 12. The Old Crem - 82 13. Skinny kiltrunner - 80 14. Sir Creep - 79 15. Joey Russ - 77 16. RadGuy - 75 17. YoungWillz - 64 18. Gooseberry Crumble - 60 19. Toast - 54 20. Bibliogryphon - 49 21. Clorox Bleachman - 27 Thank you to all 20 participants for being so patient with this noob host!

Returning for a fourth year!! In time there will be a pretty opening post right here. For now, let's get straight to the point: Choose 50 names from the masterlist below. All of these names were selected as "Jokers" in the Derby Dead Pool. Please also include 3-5 subs in your entry. Nominate five of these names to be your wildcards. If they die and receive a qualifying obituary for DDP, they will score double points. Post your team in this thread or PM me. Entries close exactly a week from now – 2100 GMT on 22nd January 2020. Point-scoring: 1 base point for a 'hit' 3 pts for a unique/Drop 40 pick in DDP 3 pts for an unnatural death 2 unlucky pts for a hit on the 13th of any month 3 pts for a solo pick in this pool 2 pts for a DeathList.net alumnus i.e. from 1987-2020 (new) 1 pt for hits at certain spots on your list. Which spots they are, however, are hidden until they are scored. There is also an extensive set of hidden bonuses, however they will each be revealed when they are struck. Good luck to all! I present the masterlist:

Samantha Last and Sultan Qaboos each scoring 356 points when both obits come through.

What's the idea behind adding -strong to someone's name when they're ill? Nobody does it in the UK.

Mr Chand is dead at 110. http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/NEWS/14775553.World__39_s_longest_married_man_dies_at_age_of_110/ Thinks he's on the DDP...checks. Nup. Not there, might have been last year... And now Kartari has joined her husband, aged 107. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/tributes-paid-to-bradford-s-oldest-woman-who-died-aged-107-1-10190921

Barely a year, and three quarters of the supercentenarians I listed have died.

...so?
