20/20 + 2

Recommended Posts

Time marches on as so we move into the Thirties with this competition
 

It is quite fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time

 

Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1922-1931.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2022 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. It is a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying Obituary is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard).No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit.

 

There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick.

You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.

I just find these ones always get me into a panic as I am bad at researching and having to search for people by age.

According to this:

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/romantic-novelist-jessica-blair-is-a-former-raf-bombaimer-called-bill-a6851821.html

 

The prolific author of romance novels Jessica Blair and Bill Spence are the same person.
Is this legal, @Bibliogryphon?

Because... she doesn't exist.
How will she have an obituary? :scratchhead:

Well it is up to @Predictor if they are the same person they will only count as one hit so effectively they are doing themselves out of a selection but many writers have been listed under their pen names but my feeling is that this one should go under Bill Spence and a 1923 woman be added into the roster

Many of your picks are duplicates. They need to be original but you can Steel them at the beginning of each round if you are quick
