Based on @The Old Crem original game back in 2022.

 

The game is simple. Pick 20 celebrities who will have a child in either 2025 or 2026. 

 

Rules:

 

1. Teams have to be sent in by 31/12/2024. Please send teams to me via PM and do not post it on the thread until after deadline to avoid copycats. 

2. You can pick either the mother or father of the child, but the parent has to be a celebrity.

3. You score points once the celebrity, celebrity's partner, surrogate gives birth or the adoption of a baby under 8 weeks old is announced. 

4. The qualifying source is either a newspaper report or a post on verified social media account belonging to the Celeb or their partner. 

4. Celebrity is defined by the pick having a Wikipedia page that existed before 1st December 2024. 

5. You can't pick both likely parents of the same child in the event that both mother and father count as celebrities.

6. If there is any public doubt as to the identity of the father of the child, then the pick will be 'lost'.

7. Picks must be legal (i.e. the parent must be over the age of consent in their home country)

8. No pregnancy that has been officially announced or reported in a Q/O source as a strong rumour is allowed. 
9. Any pregnancy that is announced between now and the deadline will not be eligible for points and you can chose to then withdraw that celebrity and replace them (but can also keep them in case their have a second birth in 2025). 
10. Each team is allowed one joker who can gain double points. 

11. If pregnancy is announced and there is a misscarriage or still birth then player gets half points (10 points turns into 5 etc).

12. Player will get certificate of participation if no points by end of the year. Certificate of frustration if all your picks are football players, meaning it's harder to find updates due to transfer news etc.
