Rules of Play

1. Choose 15 celebrities who you believe may die in the calendar year 2010.
2. Number 15 on your list must be aged under 50 in 2010 (born after 1960).
3. Email your list to daisylist(at)googlemail.com (Please include your hootoo username in your email ‘Subject’ box). Closing date for submissions is 31 December 2009.
4. If you discover before 1 January 2010, that you have erroneously included someone already dead, or one of your nominees dies in 2009, you may have a free substitute.
5. You will be awarded 10 points per correct prediction. If your prediction is unique, then you receive 15 points.
6. You will be awarded 5 bonus points by a death caused 'not by natural causes', in other words a suicide, murder or accident.
7. You will be awarded 5 bonus points for a celebrity who dies on the 13th of the month. 10 bonus points if it's Friday the 13th.
8. Assuming you have followed Rule 2 correctly, then you will be awarded double points for the correctly-predicted death of Number 15 on your list (all bonus points are also doubled). Only Number 15 is eligible for this bonus, no matter how many under-50s are on your list.
9. The definition of 'celebrity' is someone well-known enough to have their death reported on the websites of BBC News or any of the British Broadsheets. No report; no points.
10. Any complaints about the poor taste of this game should be addressed to Mu Beta, and then self-inserted, where the sun doesn’t shine.
