Would You Like Premium or Unleaded Diesel?
You would think, after Teri/Ian and Aaron/Arianne's diesel problems in TAR3, that people would know to fill their cars with the right kind of gas. I mean, Adam and Rebecca should have just filled the car up with hard liquors, and ridden the fumes to the pit stop.
Avi/Joe were the first team eliminated after a few navigational mishaps. If only they have done the ice climb, the result may have been different.

Knockin' Over The Casino
We had a good opening round. The group as a whole did extremely well. Some people bet big, and it paid off. Others played more conservatively, making many bets, and did well also. Our top scorer this week was Neobie (+20), who doubled up. popeave (+17) and yensid (+17) were close behind.
The Perfect Bet Award goes to the player who made the most accurate, precise bets. This week's PBA goes to ohmyheck who put money down on all of the Top 4 teams. Way to go!

Betting Rules
1. New entries are still welcome! Each new player will be given 15 points to start.
2. Each player should place bets on the teams they expect to do well, based on the Week's Payout Table. The better your team places, the more points you will get.
3. You don't have to bet all of your points. You may choose to bank some of them, and they will move on to the next week without risk.
4. You may only bet points you have. I do not give out equity loans. Each week, you will have a different point total to use, based on the previous week's results. Consult the leaderboard for your point total.
5. Each individual bet must be a whole number (integer).
6. You can pick up to 5 teams maximum. This number will lower eventually.
7. Each individual bet may not exceed 20 points. That means you're not allowed to lay 30 or 40 of your points on one particular team. The most you may bet on a single team is 20. You may, of course, use remaining points on other teams. See the Sample Entry if you are confused. Every three weeks I will raise the Max Bet limit.
(Next week is the first change.)
8. All fractions of a point will be rounded up in your final point total. I'm nice like that.
9. If you forget to enter one week, you will just finish +0 for the week. No penalty. If you don't make an entry 3 weeks in a row, I'll assume you've quit the game. You can always send me a PM with your picks, if you're going to be away.
10. The deadline for entries is showtime: Tuesday night, 9 PM Eastern time. In other words, you can change your entry until the show begins airing. All late entries will not be counted.
WARNING: All edited entries after 9:00 PM will receive a 10 point penalty. This hasn't been a problem though.

Corrections? Comments? Feel free to ask. This year we probably won't have any "scoring errors." I finally got a spreadsheet going this year, so now there can only be "data entry errors."
