As requested,

Rules

1. No penalty for no turn-in; all missed choices will carry over.
2. 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."
3. When n = 7, point values are doubled. When n = 4, point values are tripled.
4. 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
   
5. Choices are to be sent in to

   by 11:59:59 EST on Monday nights. He'll keep the lists and standings up to date.

[rajrhcpfreak]

well i was going to ask you for sugestion later on tonite when you got on aim...

[MeMe]

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?

[rajrhcpfreak]

ok lets say that im

/in

and if you all want to give me some tips before we start tell me

[Jaguar]

I'm in.

I like the wipeout play.

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?

[rajrhcpfreak]

you make the pick each week, and when its valid then you will get the points you dont need to pick the leg.

[rajrhcpfreak]

BUMP.... SEND ME SOME PICKS....

[Blackberry]

You silly little cheeseburgular, you KNOW im

/in

[Blackberry]

I'm confused, how many teams do we choose??

[rajrhcpfreak]

as many as you want to risk..

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.

[inHimshallibe]

How about something like 3 for getting either part right, and something like 7 for correctly guessing both.

[MeMe]

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.

[rajrhcpfreak]

no penalties... i want us to all have + points not in the neg.

[inHimshallibe]

MeMe, I see your point.

[inHimshallibe]

Well, now... let's start anew, shall we?

[MeMe]

~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.

[rajrhcpfreak]

1st Weaver - 9
2nd Linz - 7
3rd Godlewski - 6
4th Schroeder - 5
5th Aiellos - 4
6th Bransen - 3
7th Gaghan - 2
8th Paolos - 1
9th Rogers - OUT

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.

[MeMe]

What's "this time"? Eastern Standard? And you're talking the day before it shows, right? Like 21 hours prior to showtime?

[MeMe]

Wow, that's a lot of question marks.
