There is no official limit to the number of alternates you can have regardless. Not sure where the idea that you are limited to 3 started, but there is no rule on it.
Look at it this way: the more alternates you have, the safer you are if people kick it early or your main list is challenged. The flip-side is you expose your potential future list to more people, and give people fodder to consider for their lists now or in the future.
Drake Hogestyn, Days of Our Lives long-running actor, died at 30 points.
The day before his birthday too. Alas.
Like sands through the hourglass…
You mean, he missed the last Day of his Life?
I’m still clinging for a tie at 83rd.
Ouch. Glad I got to see him in Beverly Hills Cop 4.
That bastard. I had him on my list for next year.
I thought he looked bad in Beverly Hills Cop 4.
Death made Frank Coppa an offer he couldn’t refuse. He just didn’t report it until a year after or so.
(I.e. not eligible for points, and sucks if anyone had him last year.)

Wiki article on the guy, BTW, in case you don’t want to get through the NYT paywall:
My favorite role of his was as Marvin in Midnight Run.
I at first thought (when I first watched the movie) that he was football player turned actor Dick Butkus.
Aw, that is sad. Now he’s got nothing left to lose, if that is a consolation. Freedom at last!
It really was a Sunday mornin’ comin’ down.
The ironically-named private investigator Jay J Armes has died at 92.
He was possibly best known for investigating the kidnapping of Marlon Brando’s son, and had an action figure crafted in his likeness, complete with detachable hands to match Armes’ metal hooks.
Served in my old Army unit. Considerably before I did.
Slow Moving Vehicle had Kris.

I re-watched Semi-Tough a week ago and I was thinking how Kristofferson was the only one of the three leads still alive.
That one hits hard. I grew up listening to him. Firmly believe that he and Ani DiFranco are the two greatest American lyricists of the last seventy years.
More points I’d rather not have.
Dikembe Mutumbo has blocked his last shot.
