  • 2012 Dead pool draft thread

    This thread is for picks only. Discuss them in the discussion thread.

    Draft order:

    1. TyWebb
    2. Bryanbutler
    3. Davidgrey
    4. SeaDogStat
    5. Erik
    6. Fresno Bob
    7. Ghuda
    8. Griswold
    9. DMT
    10. Don Quixote
    11. Revo
    12. Netboy
    13. Cobain's Ghost
    14. ElD
    15. B-Fly
    16. Hacko


    Rules:

    Points = 100-age.

    +15 for "1st Death", +15 for "Last Death"

    No drafting anyone currently hospitalized with a terminal illness. Terminal illness but not in the hospital is OK. In the hospital but not with a terminal illness is OK.

    If your person dies during the draft, no points, repick.

    Picks must be "notable" other than for death pool positioning. At the very least they should have an English-language Wikipedia page for a reason other than being famous for illness (e.g. Terri Schiavo).

    If someone wishes to protest a pick, please state the nature of your objection. If the picker does not agree with the objection, the pick will be put to a vote of drafters.

    This draft must move quickly lest too many picks die before it's over. Therefore there will be a two-hour clock on weekdays and a four-hour clock on weekends. The clock will run from 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern time. If you are going to be unavailable, please PM your choices to someone else, or tell us that we can skip you.

    Draft will be 10 rounds.
