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.

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2018
OK leaving the spreadsheet up until Friday to add/change picks and such, then it's locked down for the year!

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2018
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.
But the two changes I made are definitely in the 2017 grid. I did a copy/paste to 2018.

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

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2018
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!

Re: Celebrity Croakers 2018
Just noticed Novo's picks. 
That's one hell of a plot.
