You get 9 confidence points if R. Kelly dies in 2021.
Confidence points are an additional tiebreaker. Obviously, you're trying to get the most correct picks. If two people tie, we break that tie by cumulative age, where younger is better. So, if you picked two people who were both 87 correctly, and someone else picked two people who were both 90, you'd win on account of lower age. If the cumulative ages match, we then go to confidence points, so if you both had 174 total years but your 10 & 9 were correct and the other guy's confidence points were 6 & 5, you'd win.
