FAQs

1) WTF?!? Are you guys messed up or what?
A) We are perfectly sane, we're not worshiping death, and in many cases we are deeply saddened when one of our favorite people passes on. We also recognize that people are going to die whether we have points on them or not. In this case we take an inevitable event and make it more interesting--perhaps even fun.

2) Who can play?
A) The game is open by invite only. Any participant can invite a friend, but the Life Guard has to approve and accept the invitee.

3) What are the rules? How do I play?
A) Read the rules. They are in the next post. Look at them. Adopt them as your own.

4) What if I can't be at the Annual Hangover Recovery and Dead Pool Draft Party, but I still want to play?
A) Then you are in a sad and pityable condition, indeed. Why would anyone want to miss such an event? But if circumstances outside of your control keep you from The House of Simmons on New Year's Day, you can email the Life Guard your list ahead of time to be a part of the draft. If I get the list after the draft (open throughout the rest of the year) you will get the celebrities still available and still alive. Read the rules.

5) What do the winners win?
A) There is a trophy. There may be Karma.

6) Who is in charge of this thing?
A) The Dead Pool Life Guard is in charge. The Life Guard makes all final decisions, can interpret the rules however the rules need to be interpreted, and for all of this power DOES NOT participate in the game.
