Now that the Pope has left us (no dis-respect, may he Rest in Peace) there will be a new death pool draft next week. Alot of people are drop'n out of the other pool I'm in, because they say they haven't won and don't want to play anymore. BOO HOO! Basically they are tired of not playing the game correctly.
Here is how it works.......buy in is $50.00 (usually 100.00 but unless we can find enough people who want to play $100, we'll play 50 this time around).
Once we've got enough players........we will draw names out of a hat and hold a serpentine draft according to the order your name is drawn.
Round one will go 1-10
Round two will go 10-1
Round three will go 1-10
There will be 6 rounds
You can choose any well known person that you want. First person that passes that is on someone's list will win the money. Last two times I've won the pot has been between $1,000 -$1,500 bux. It will buy you a nice mod for your truck or boat.......so com'on and play.
A little twisted but simple and fun.
Who's in?

OK, jdogg, I don't really understand how drafts work, so try to explain it to me....this cracked me up the last time I was reading about it. (Of course no disrespect to anyone here regarding the death of someone as beloved as the Pope)
Do I get to choose who is on my list? What if more than one person has the same person, or is that possible? Do you come up with possibilities and then you get what you draw? I want Scott Peterson on my list.... :burningm: :burningm:

It's just like a football draft...........once a person/player is taken you can not draft the same person.
Let's say you have the nuber 3 draft pick.
U get the 3rd pick in the 1st round, u will then get the 8th pick in the 2nd round, then the 3rd pick in the 3rd round, the 8th pick in the 4th, the third pick in the 5th, and the 8th pick in the 6th round.
So if we have 6 rounds and 10 people........we could have more but this is example is based on 10 people, u should prepare by having a list of 60 + people, just in case some of your choices are picked before you.
Again......once a person is drafted, another person can not draft that same person.

U have to be smart and pick wisely........but if after 6 months we will re-draft. Although i've never been in one that's gone longer than six months.

OK, sorry if I sound lame....just to be sure--when we meet I need my own list of names, and we choose when it's our turn to choose. If someone else takes a name that I have on my list, I can't have them, right? And how many people will be on our list in the end? I saw if no one kicks it we re-pick in 6 months....
I bet no one had Johnny Cochran on their list! :squiggle: Go figure!

That is the way it sounds to me Bunny. How many people do we need to play. Is it first person takes all or is there a breakdown for each round for the pay out? :crossx:

You are correct.......if someone picks before you, and they pick someone you wanted, u can not pick them . You should prioritize your list, so you pick the ones you really want first. As far how many will be on your list at the end????? That will vary to how many people play. We have usually played with 11 people and played 6 rounds. That means you will have 6 people on your list. If we were to get 20 people though.........I would suggest we play only 4 rounds. Also.......we can try to get together somewhere and choose, but in the past people tend not to show up, which throws the whole game out of whack! But ***boaters are a different breed, maybe we can get a few commitments from people and do a get together..........OH SHIT i said the word committment! No one tell my girlfriend I said that word! LOL

Considering the buy in is at $50.00 we should try to get 10 people. That will be a pot of $500.00. The more the merrier..........again I've usually played in a pool with 11 -15 people with a buy in of $100.00. $50 is a good first game. Next game we can increase if people want to.
First person who dies takes all. If in odd ball chance that two people died on the same day, we would try to establish time of death. If not time of death can be determined for both people, those two players will split the pot.

I have learned around here if you mention beer and Goose everybody shows up............even some you didn't invite :D So lets get a list going on here then pick a place centeraly located. As for the "C" word I am on the phone with your GF right now she says the "L" word to you in tears. In the words of another " YOUR DOOOOOOOMEEEEEDDDD! :D
