These are the Rules for The Dead Pool Halloween '08 - Halloween '09:
1) You will pick 21 people in the public eye who you think will be 'called home' this year.
2) They will be picked in draft mode in 21 rounds (like fantasy football).
3) Entry fee is $20.
4) Money will be distributed Halloween '09 as follows, 1st - 70%, 2nd - 20%, and 3rd - 10%.
5) Scores will be tallied on a 100 point system, if one of your players 'kicks', subtract his/her age at death from 100 and those are your points! New this year - if you pick someone who's over 100, you will receive points for the number of years over 100 your pick is. I guess you can call this a "positive wrap around" rule.
6) Death row inmates are ineligible candidates.
7) People who are in the public eye only because they are sickly (leukemia boy or such) are ineligible.
8) You may not kill any of your players (the Brett clause).
9) When a spot on your roster is 'vacated' you do not get to add a replacement player.
10) Next Halloween you may deem three of your 'still kicking' roster as 'franchise players' and keep them, the rest go back in the draft.

| Tribute This! Currently Filming |
 A tribute album to an unknown songwriter? Sounds crazy, but who says it can't be done?
This unknown songwriter, Billy Franks, has been honing his craft for thirty years. You may be able to fit all of his fans in the world on a subway train. Fellow travellers might include three best-selling novelists, a member of the British Royal Family and the singer with the world's biggest rock outfit, but, even so, everyone would get a seat.
He has devoted his life to music, and has never been given the break that many know he deserves. Although this songwriter is content to simply produce the music he loves, regardless of record sales, we at One By One Films feel otherwise.
During the summer of 2005, an award-winning American film crew hoped to set right what they see as an extreme case of "unjustifiable anonymity" by asking some of the biggest names in music to make a tribute album to this unknown.
When completed, any and all proceeds from the album will go directly to the Youth Music Charity in the UK and to a similar charity in the U.S. There's no better way to market the album than to tie it to a feature length documentary that chronicles an independent film crew's seemingly outrageous quest to propose the idea to famous artists.
Armed only with the songs, the singer, an unwavering resolve, and a disarming sense of humour, these four friends traveled the world, and will continue their search this fall, to complete their quest.
Were some of the music world's great songwriters willing to recognize a fellow traveller?
Will members of rock royalty embrace a disinherited brother?
Or did an entourage of managers, publicists and security guards foil any attempt to even pose the question?
Continue to follow their adventures over the coming months, it could be quite something. |

| The phone rings. The folks at Dead Pool HQ answer. A voice is heard on the other end, dark and somber. It is distorted yet very clear in what it says - "Deep Throat has passed on. He died on December 18th atthe age of 95. Pass it on." In the end, it means that CRUD! has gotten himself on the leaderboard with 5 points! |
