Welcome and Rules

Welcome and Rules

Hello and welcome to the Amazing Race 21 Pool! The latest edition of The Race is set to begin on September 30th.

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. I will help make sure that your 4 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.

All of your teams earn points for you (see below), which you'll spend later.

For the finale all the points you've earned to that point will be spent by you (regardless of how many teams you have left) on one or more the remaining teams.

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

Eighth 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 Yielded: -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.
