I don’t see that the rules prohibit picking celebrities who are 100 or more years of age. Strom or Bob Hope would not help any of our point totals, but one or more of us contestants may want to go for the “Quantity Not Quality” award.

110

ArchitectChore - that’s correct. Celebrities who are or will be 100 or more years old can be named as picks, but they won’t score any points for the players who picked them.
