Celebrity Croakers 2018
 

Alrighty, I've got the 2018 sheet up and going.

The sheet is in the same link as previous years, there's a new tab for 2018 now.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

I've preloaded it with the existing picks from 2017 for anyone who took part. If you want to be added, just add your line.

To recap the rules:
--you pick 5 people you think will croak in 2018
--pick one of those 5 to be your joker (i.e., not a sixth pick)
--points are awarded as 100 minus age at death. So if you pick, say, Donald Trump to croak in 2018 at age 71, you'd get 29 points.
--jokers earn you double points
--you get a new pick when one of your originals croaks, and this includes jokers
--you can't change picks once you've made them
--when someone croaks, post any major news source that reports the death (CBC, BBC, CNN, TMZ, etc)
--all picks must be in by 31 December 2017. Picks will be locked as of 1 January 2018!

Be sure to check back regularly to keep an eye on standings, picks, and so on!

Any questions just ask! :)

Happy croaking.

OK leaving the spreadsheet up until Friday to add/change picks and such, then it's locked down for the year!

I just looked at 2018 and thought eh, I could have sworn I had made changes when it was originally posted but there weren't any there.

It seems I had made the changes on the 2017 grid instead - which I wouldn't have thought possible. :confused: But the two changes I made are definitely in the 2017 grid. I did a copy/paste to 2018.

I can’t edit or change picks :(.

I am surprised that all the "ambulance chasers" aren't scrambling to add Des O'Connor to their lists.

Why's that's? Is he sick? Moribund? How old is he?

Eric Morecambe had a contract out on him but it's only just been activated.

PS Cobourg was the warmest place today in Ontario and points east. Maybe more but I can't remember exactly what Environment Canada said.

If anyone is having trouble adding/changing picks, then just post here and I or someone else will look into it.

Picks should be locked down now (honours system), but if anyone is having issues then we can still sort it! :)

Just noticed Novo's picks. :rofl:

That's one hell of a plot.
