I was going to hold off unveiling the Death Pool rules for 2007 under November, but this is close enough and I couldn't think of anything else to write about tonight. So.....I know that you are all waiting for this, and without further ado.....
Death Pool 2007!
Official rules
Ok, the rules aren't going to be changing much for this upcoming year. A few minor tweaks here and there, but nothing Earth-shattering.
First, I will be instituting the Larry Bird rule. Now, the Larry Bird rule has nothing to do with the health and well-being of Larry Bird. In the NBA, teams are given certain advantages to re-signing their own free-agents. So, what I have decided to do it let everyone who participated in the pool this year determine whether or not you want to re-sign 2006's selections. The first day of this period will be November 1st, and it will end at midnight on November 30th. If you haven't let the world know by that point that you want to keep some or all of your picks, they automatically become free agents. Going to be out of the country and unable to re-sign your picks? Tough. Deal with it.
This brings me to my second point. The number of available picks will be expanding from 5 to 10. This might sound a bit harsh, but I don't think that we had nearly enough action this year. So, hopefully the increased number of selections will make it more interesting.
Next, scoring will remain the same. The person's age minus 100. It's simple, yet effective.
The open season for all new participants, as well as the add-on's for existing players will begin at 12:01 am on December 1st.
The same general rule s will apply as last year: All selected persons must be of a certain level of celebrity status. Nobody on Death Row. No missing children. In other words, play like a normal person. (or as normal as participating in a Death Pool can be).
All picks will be made though the comments section of the Official Death Pool Posting, which I will put up on November 1st. The automatic stamp will determine whose picks got their first.
If I forgot anything, or you have any questions, just let me know.

What about the age groups that we had to pick within? Does that still apply or do you just get to pick at random? You may want to repost the original info somewhere. I was thinking of starting a google group which would allow all of us to post things. This might be a good place for all of this to reside. All picks could be made through Kev's blog, but rules, individuals "draft picks", and results could be updated on the Google group. I will check it Kev. Focker Out.
This has nothing to do with the DP, but I was thinking tonight about college and Halloween. I know somewhere Volmer is having a party. God bless Volmer. His annual Halloween party was my alibi (along with CWG) in a criminal case. Does anybody remember Von's pre-mature ejactulate costume? When he came (only) in his pants. God I miss college.
Does your alibi involve a young Ornamental girl who went missing?? I can hear a SONG playing on the radio, what is it?
