Centenarians Deadpool 2020

[chilean way 1,908]

The idea is make a deathlist with 15 names of famous centenarians that could die this year, anyone can participate in any moment. You can incorporate 5 non centenarians, but could survive at least their birthday, example George Shultz has 99 and his birthday is december 13, if he dies in that date or late in this year, that counts. 

Also you can use 5 subs if any non centenarians dies before their birthday. The first member in get all picks deads wins.

 

Edit: Sadly for some, if your pick is already dead (including the same day), doesn't count, you will need give another name or use a sub if you have any. 

[Joey Russ 7,255]

30 is a lot of names, no? I think making it to ten or 15 names is more reasonable, cause that would allow teams to have a bit of diversity.
