First off, the final tally from 2021: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogons-official-death-bingo-2021.3675555/
Tiebreakers were determined by the combined ages of the chosen dead. Special thanks to Bughouse for hosting last year's thread as well as tallying the points (I'm sure the fact that he won was a mere coincidence).
This year will have the same rules as last year.
1st: Bughouse - 25 points (Larry King (87)+Prince Phillip (99)+COVID-19 bonus x 1(Larry King))
2nd: Empress - 20 points (Rush Limbaugh (69) + Johnny Isakson (76))
3rd: Bog Monster - 20 points (John McAfee (75) + Prince Philip (99))

This year will have the same rules as last year.
- Everyone picks 8 known celebrities, be them singers, actors, influencers, criminals, politicians, etc.
- Post the age of each celebrity after their name. The total ages of the celebs that you are betting on cannot exceed 500. This way we don't just have lists full of old geezers.
- 10 points for every death guessed right, plus one bonus point for every year younger than 50 at time of death (capped at 10 for each death), plus an addiotional 5 bonus points if the death comes after a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis.
- One list per user, and only the first list they post. Shitposting is still allowed.
- This isn't a list of hoping people will die, just betting on who will leave us this year.
- Multiple people can bet on the same celebrity.
- You may not bet on an already dead celebrity, nor one that perished right before you posted.
- Edited lists will be disqualified,
- No cause of death.
- Human celebrities only; pets and other animals do not count.
