50/50

Recommended Posts

Seeing as my 20/20 has hit off in the last couple of weeks I thought it was a shame that it will inevitably end fairly soon so to compensate for that I am proposing another one that should last a few years.For this one a national or international BBC article of the deceased is required.Pick 50 names born in the 1950`s.Unlike 20/20 there is not a quota on years of birth and gender.Any 50 from any year of the fifties.when a hit occurs a new pool is triggered and picks cannot be duplicated but unique points will score 2 points per hit as opposed to one for a multiple pick for every player who selected them.This pool may start out slow but I reckon it should pick up pace in the coming months and years.Rest assured I won`t be starting any other pools on this site!

So we are allowed to have names on other people's lists in this one? Or does each 50 have to have unique names to that player?

So can I get this straight.

 

If I pick 50 people, can I keep them for the duration? Or do they all get swapped around whenever someone dies?
