    Dead Pool 22

    Nobody started this? In that case we'd better run picks for the first week of the year, with any deaths in that period *not scoring*.

    Five picks, each person in the pool can be picked by only one OTFer (first come, first served - no reserves from previous years to keep it simple).

    Tie breaker is the lowest combined age.

    All picks in by 2359 UTC Friday 7 January 2022. Scoring starts from Saturday 8th.

      No reserves means that you can't repeat previous picks?

        You can repeat them if they are available, but if another OTFer has already taken someone you had in 2021 then you can't have them.

                      That has a whiff of a bit of a "wish list" about it, so, why Kid Rock?
