Rules:
10 famous people (sports or otherwise) currently alive, who you think could die in 2025.
Winner determined by most # of cadavers picked.

Post your picks in this thread. Rank your list from 10 to 1 in confidence points (highest confidence in death is 10).
Tiebreakers are youngest total ages of all dead celebs, then total confidence points, then youngest overall pick, then youngest celeb with the highest confidence points.

I forget what the vCash prizes are. Please refer all complaints regarding payouts to @tabascojet.

Deadline for picks is 11:59PM EASTERN on 12/31/24.

If someone you pick hits room temperature before the end of the year, you can replace that person, but you only receive credit for deaths in 2025.

I request that these come in the following format: Name, Confidence Points (makes it easier for me to put it into Excel, and it's already hard enough to keep track of with you halfwits that can't spell Bob Dole's name correctly). Please see example below:

Bob Barker, 10
Henry Kissinger, 9
Ozzy Osbourne, 8
Bud Grant, 7
Jimmy Carter, 6
Ted Simmons, 5
Artie Lange, 4
Keith Richards, 3
Shannen Doherty, 2
Takashi-69, 1

We are allowing late submissions, but for every 2 weeks late you are, you lose the highest remaining confidence points. Ex-if you enter on January 4th, you're only allowed 9 picks and your confidence points start at 9. If you enter on January 20th, you're only allowed 8 picks and your confidence points start at 8.
