No penalty for no turn-in; all missed choices will carry over.
Submit as many teams as you like. Scoring is based upon finishing positions. If n = teams in the race, then:
1st = n points
2nd = n-2 points
...
"n-1"th = 0 points
nth = 0 overall points for the round. Picking this team results in a "wipeout."
When n = 7, point values are doubled. When n = 4, point values are tripled.
Also, points can be scored for the correct guess of a Yield/Fast Forward usage. Along with your anti-boot teams, send in a team that will win the Fast Forward, and one that will use their Yield. Extra points for guessing which team is Yielded.
Fast Foward: Worth 10 points, -2 points if your wrong, 0 points will be added or subtracted if there isnt a FF. If there is a FF and nobody uses this, it will be treated as an incorrect choice.
Yield: 5 points for each team corectly answered right. -1 point for each team wrong. 0 points will be subtracted or added if there isnt a yield. If there is a Yield and nobody uses this, it will be treated as a wrong team choice (-1 or -2, depending on your choice).
For Yields, choose:
Family A Yields family B
Family A uses Yield
Family B is Yielded
nothing
Choices are to be sent in to

I like the idea of earning points for placement. With 9 teams left, 1st team could be worth 8 points, 2nd worth 7, etc....last two teams worth zero and if you have the eliminated team on your list, that's no points for the episode. Something like that?

How will fast forwards work? They'll only be present on a few of the legs, do we have to correctly guess which leg as well, or just submit a choice each week and if it is a fast forward week it'll count?
jsut to remind people there is no penalty on yeilds or fast fowards so pick them. i for got to say either using the yeild or having the yeild used on them.
should you get 5 points for getting both right or 2.5 for each of those right?
im pretty sure it wont be used this episode so it doesnt matter yet.
Oh...I didn't realize there wouldn't be any penalty for guessing FFs and Yields wrong -- I just thought there'd be no penalty for a guess if none were
used
that week.
So, if I had guessed the fictional Smiths as taking the Fast Forward this week and the Jones family actually did it, there would be no point penalty for guessing wrong?
Huh. I don't think I like that.

~whew~ Glad I wasn't the only one who was blindsided by that!
That father was driving me crazy -- going out of his way to blame "the driver" repeatedly and then, at the end of the show, saying that he tries to teach his son not to cast stones. And the mom saying "I'm the glue that will hold this family together" like they had a death in the family or something was so weird. If your family's so fragile that losing a game can tear you apart...you're probably in need of some serious counseling.

The scores would have been:
rajrhcpfreak - 25
MeMe - 25
Yaw - 19
inHimshallibe - 18
Blackberry - 13
Jaguar - 11
BUT WE ALL HAD THE ROGERS!!
SO NO POINTS FOR ANYONE.....
Fast Foward: it will be worth 10 points, -2 points if your wrong, 0 points will be added or subtracted if there isnt a FF. If there is a FF and noone takes it then you will still be wrong.
Yeild: 5 points for each team corectly answered right. -1 point for each team wrong. 0 points will be subtracted or added if there isnt a yeild. If there is a Yeild and noone takes itthen you will still be wrong.
You can send me either:
Family A Yeilds family B
Family A Yeilds
Family B Yeilded
nothing
For this coming week, if you dont send me your picks by midnight this time, i will remove your Yd and FF picks (since they are now worth neg. points) and i will remove the Rogers family.
