PTTE: The longest running RTVW game!

Are you ready for some PTTE?
What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means

"Picks To The End"

Talofa
Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new season of Survivor.
The 19th season to be exact.

We are on the island of Samoa
in the heart of the Pacific

There are 13 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Who do you think will win?

Will Mother Nature take a back seat?
Will Russell be able to get back to his evil?
Who will triumph?

Is there anyone to fight against it?

Keep watching to see.

And while you are waiting why not join this game.

To start the game you'll need to:

Post a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order.

Starting with the next (#13) to be eliminated and
ending with the winner (#1).
Unless you play the Teal game (see below)

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.
Use any spoiler information available to you,
coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do.

Russell Swan was the 7th Castaway to leave the game.
He was medically evacuated.

Read what RTVW has to say about it here.

Read what Russell S had to say about it here.

Read what Jeff had to say about it here.

I don’t remember RTVW posting an interview with Jeff about someone leaving before.

Now onto the game!

Do you want to join the fun?

It’s still a great time to join.

Here are the divisions:

Regular PTTE – Lowest score wins

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with next booted (#13)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

Medium Teal PTTE – Highest score wins

How do you play as a Medium Teal Player?

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with the Sole Survivor (#20)
and ending with next booted (#8)

Okay... how do you play:

SCORING:

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,
unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game.
then you want all the points you can get.

2) Points will be awarded to each boot, after each episode.
They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's bootee would finish
and where the bootee actually finished.

3) You will be given penalty points every time you change your PTTE list.

+5 points for regular game
-5 points for medium teal game
+8 points for All-Star game
-8 points for All-Star Medium Teal game

You may change your list as many times as you want, up to the deadline.
The last list at the time of deadline will be used.

4) There will be several tie-breaker questions. Check back to catch them. I will also send out a PM to alert you. I have used several tie-breaker questions the last few seasons to break ties and even determine a winner.

5) The game will be open for anyone to join at anytime.

If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed. That means that it's possible to join the game after several episodes and enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.

This week you will start with 24 points.

PRE-SEASON BONUS:
Week 7
To reward those who keep their original list I will again offer a
"Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.
The longer you keep your list (without changing it), the more points I will add or take-away.

Keep your list for:
3 weeks = -1 point or +1 point for teal
7 weeks = -1 points or +1 points for teal
11 weeks = -2 points or +2 points for teal
Final week = -2 points or +2 points for teal

If you would like to do a little more research check out CBS

If you have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.
(Private Message located top right on page, larger envelope icon.)

Post your list and number them from 1 to 13.
Sit back and enjoy:
Survivor 19: Samoa

I will make a copy of your list one minute before the start of the show.
You may change your lists as many times as you want,
up to 7:59 pm EDT on Thursday, October 29, 2009.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

KIRCON’S RAMBLINGS

I think the Medium Teals need a little more competition. If anyone with a higher score would like to flip their list and play on the Teal side there will be no penalty.
The person you believe will win (your current #1) would become #20.
The next booted would become #8.

I will actually add 5 points to your score.

This is the last week I will offer this.

If you have a free edit you may use that to change the order of you list.

Okay, Kircon...I'll flip to Medium Teal and take your 5-point deal. That should put me right in the middle - with no hope for being anything but - in the middle. I'll save my free list change until I can even identify some of these people (!?)
