The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business

TAR 18 PTTE

What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means:
Picks To The End

New players are always welcome, and for new folks who want to play the PTTE game this season, here's how it works:

Here's the goal:

Post your prediction about the ENTIRE elimination order for the season, starting with the first team to be eliminated and ending with the winner.

This doesn't need to have any analysis, although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want. With any spoiler information available to you, coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do.

Remember, the goal is to end the season with the fewest points.

The 5th Team Eliminated

Ron and Christina
Previous Season/Result: Season 12/2nd place

This father/daughter team seems to have improved their relationship. Good luck to both of them in the future.

Now on to the Scores

Place – Name – Score on current list
Upward movement ^
In case of ties, I alphabetize.

9. esquire – 8

10. kircon - 11

Scoring:

Here's the way that the scoring works:

1) You do NOT want points... they're bad... it's like golf. Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them.

2) Points will be awarded to every contestant in the game after each episode of The Amazing Race 18. They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's eliminee would finish and where the eliminee actually finished.
If it is a non-elimination episode, then no points will be scored for that week, and if there is a double-elimination episode, the eliminees will be scored according to the order they were eliminated.

For example: If you think Jet & Cord will come in 5th, and they actually come in 11th, you'll receive 6 points (the difference between 11th and 5th) for that week's episode.

3) You will be given 4 penalty points every time you change your PTTE list after the first episode has aired, but it's only 4 points so change your list if you think it will help you out.

4) If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed.

5) I will post a few tiebreaker questions in the event of ties at the end of the season.
These are important, as tiebreakers have decided the winner in seasons past!
More information to follow.

If you have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.
(Private Message located top right on page, larger envelope icon.)
That's it for now.
Post your list.
Sit back and enjoy the next episode of:
The Amazing Race 18

I will lock in your list at
7:59 pm EDT on Sunday, April 17, 2011

Don't forget the Bonus Tie-Breaker Question: Give me an excuse for being late. You will get 1 tie-breaker point. I will choose the best excuse and give that person another point. You have until Sunday April 17th, 11:59 central time. Now enjoy the game. k

You are late because you were abducted by aliens, which forced your internet to be all wonky.

You still didn't fix Yogi & Corvis' scores. http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID20/4057.shtml#1
