The Nobel Prize Dead Pool 2025/26

[WEP 900]

Welcome to the first Deathlist-competition dedicated to Nobel laureates: The Nobel Prize Dead Pool.

 

As always, the nomination period opens on December 1^st, 2024 (00:00 EST) and ends on January 31^st, 2025 (23:59) EST.

 

The rules are still easy: Pick one living Nobel laureate by each category (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine/Physiology/Peace/Literature and Economic Sciences), who you think will die during the following next twelve months. This will make six nominated people.
Send your list between December 1^st and January 31^st!

 

My remaining rule:
No laureate can be chosen twice, so check who was picked by other deadpoolers!
The list of teams published below will help you!

 

Further rules:
1. In case, one of your laureates dies, replace him/her by a person from the same category. This will give you the chance to score twice in a category.
2. I will be the last to choose my picks – to avoid discrepancies for the other contestants!

Every laureate who dies in December or January will be excluded automatically and should be replaced in case of being chosen.

People, who accepted the award on behalf of someone or represent an organization are excluded from the contest, the 2025 laureates cannot be chosen since they are unknown until October!

The Nobel Prize Dead Pool will start from February 1^st, 2025, the day the nomination period for new laureates ends. The last day to score a hit will be January 31^st, 2026!

All main sources will be accepted as well as the official Nobel Prize website www.nobelprize.org. (The deaths will be mentioned there, so no lost hits to expect!)

Since not so many Nobel laureates die during a year - 2017, 2019 and 2020 it had been 9 dead laureates per year, 2018 there were 18, in 2022 seven (So do not expect a rushing contest!) – the scoring will honor every hit separately.

So good luck and enjoy the contest.

[WEP 900]

As last year, the scoring will appear on a four digit base.

 

The first digit will represent the category, sorted from least living laureates to most:
Literature (20): 6.000 points
Peace (30): 5.000 points
Economic Scienes (48): 4.000 points
Chemistry (62): 3.000 points
Medicine/Physiology (70): 2.000 points
Physics (75): 1.000 points

 

The second digit will honor the decade, the laureate was awarded:
2020s – 900 points
2010s – 800 points
2000s – 700 points
1990s – 600 points
1980s – 500 points
1970s – 400 points
1960s – 300 points
1950s – 200 points
There were no laureates left from the decades before, so a sore of 100 points is not possible!

 

The third digit will show the age of your laureate:
 <   30 – 90 points.
30-39 – 80 points
40-49 – 70 points
50-59 – 60 points
60-69 – 50 points
70-79 – 40 points
80-89 – 30 points
90-99 – 20 points
100-??? – 10 points

 

The last digit gives a bonus score:
Last survivor of his awarding year: 9 points bonus.
Youngest death of the contest: 8 points (awarded in February 2026!)
Represents an African country: 7 points
Represents an Asian country: 6 points
A female laureate: 5 points.
Awarded alone (organizations excluded): 4 points
Represents a South or Middle American country: 3 points
Comes from Germany (born there or naturalized): 2 points
Oldest death of the contest: 1 point (awarded in February 2026!)

 

NEW:
Ther will be a 500 points bonus for the last surviving laureate of the decade!

 

So for example:
Leon N Cooper, currently the last laureate to die, was worth 1.429 points.

1.000 as a Physics Prize laureate, 400 for the decade (he was awarded in 1972), 20 for his age (94), and 9 bonus points as he was the last living laureate of that year.

The list is wonderful, but may I make a suggestion that as the names are picked that perhaps the names can be highlighted in a different color?  It might help people to be able to choose their picks easier especially when there are more players that come aboard, or if one of our picks die before the game starts and we have to choose a replacement.

[WEP 900]

Good idea, if I find time to Highlight them...

I did it in the first year, but it did not work, by the way.

[ladyfiona 2,645]

Going to list what I sent in via message and then edit if I see others have put them.

[theoldlady 2,336]

There still seems to be a problem here. Somehow all my picks are still under @ladyfiona’ ‘s name on the top of list.

@WEP had corrected it earlier today, yet somehow it went back to ladyfiona’s name.

 

Also I have Wole on my list. The rest of Fiona’s names seem fine so far. I advise you choose a new name 

under literature before the best picks are taken.

 

Literature: Wole Soyinka (see theoldlady’s list please.)

I swear I do ctrl F when looking up the names but spelling must be different.
