I have crunched the numbers and checked off the deaths and I have exciting news. No one ran away with the contest this year. In fact there are SIX players tied for the lead with 3 deaths apiece. As per the Hank Chinaski tiebreaker provision, I've added up scores based on each of those players deaths (each death is worth points equal to 100 minus the celeb's age at death, but there are no negative points for deaths of those over 100) and there is a clear leader, with over 60 points more than his nearest competitor:
FLINTY MCFLINT
Here is the breakdown of the leaders for all you numbers nerds:
Greedy, Greedy, Greedy: Harry Morgan (96), Sargent Shriver (95), Kim Jong-Il (69) = 40 points
Miss Maine: Kim Jong-Il (69), Elizabeth Taylor (79), Betty Ford (93) = 59 points
Flinty McFlint: Kim Jong-Il (69), Steve Jobs (56), Amy Winehouse (27) = 148 points
Fugee: Harmon Killebrew (74), Elizabeth Taylor (79), Jeff Conaway (60) = 87 points
Atticus Grinch: Kim Jong-Il (69), Jack LaLanne (96), Betty Ford (93) = 42 points
Mr Man: Jack Kevorkian (83), Seve Ballasteros (54), Harry Morgan (96) = 67 points
Anyone who cares to is welcome to check my math. There is still a little more than a week left in 2011, so the tie could be broken before this one is in the books, but this is your December pool status update.
Only one participant failed to notch a death this year: learnedmano. He may capture the Angel of Life title all for himself. 6 players have only 1 hit and 6 players have 2 hits.
Start lining up your picks for 2012 and get them to me before January 1!
