Welcome and Rules

Welcome and Rules

Hello and welcome to the Amazing Race 20 Pool! The latest edition of The Race is set to begin on February 19th.
This is a low entry fee, moderate prize way of tracking 4 of your favorite teams as they criss-cross the globe.

Here's how it works:
The entry fee is $5 via check, cash, or paypal
Each player picks four teams. You must make certain that your picks are not the same as another players. This will help eliminate the chance of a tie. As you make submissions, I'll let you know if your choices are okay.

Points will be based upon what happens in each episode and here's how they'll be assigned:

1. Place at the Pit Stop
First Place: 100 points
Second Place: 90 points
Third Place: 80 points
Fourth Place: 70 points
Fifth Place: 60 points
Sixth Place: 50 points
Seventh Place: 40 points
Eigth Place: 30 points
Ninth Place: 20 points
Tenth Place: 10 points
LAST (ALL ELIMINATIONS): -100 points

2. Team uses Fast Forward: 100 points

3. Team uses their Yield: 50 points

4. Team Gets Yileded: -50 points

5. Screen shows the team "Currently in first place": 10 points

6. Screen shows the team "Currently in last place": -10 points

7. Only team to complete a detour option: 20 points

8. Team gives up on Detour option: -10 points

9. MONKEY points: a team says monkey, 10 points. They show a monkey onscreen, 5 points to all teams.

10. Team says the quote that is the episode title: 10 points

I'll keep tabs of scores and post them here on the blog "reasonably quick" and in a Google Spreadsheet after the episode.
