PTTE: The longest running game at Blows!

Are you ready for some PTTE?

What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means:

"Picks To The End"

S24 PTTE: One World

Welcome Back!

It’s time for the 24th season of Survivor.
Can you believe it?

We are on one beach
Two tribes, one beach
Now this we can sink our teeth into

The best news is
No Redemption
You don’t know how happy that makes me!!!

There are 15 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.

Who do you think will win?
Who will be the next Survivor kicked off?
Where will everyone else place?

Those are a few of the questions of this game.

To start this game you will need to

Post a list that reflects your prediction
about the REMAINING boot order for the season.

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw in anything you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.

Here are the divisions:

There will only be two this season

Regular PTTE

– Lowest score wins

Post your prediction for the REMAINING boot order for the season
Starting with next booted (#15)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

If you want to play spoiler-free, enter the regular game and I will keep you posted with PM’s (private messages).

Medium Teal PTTE

– Highest score wins

Post your prediction for the REMAINING boot order for the season
Starting with the Sole Survivor (#18)
and ending with the next booted (#4)

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.
They will be awarded as the difference between
where you thought this week's castaway would finish
and where the castaway actually finished.

3) 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.

4) Entry is always open!
Entry is free for the first two weeks.

If you do not enter before the 2nd episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 (-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.

5) List Changes

Here is the reason for the new rules in the list change/edit category:

This game has lost many players. For several seasons, I have been looking for a way to incorporate spoiled and non-spoiled players without running two games. I miss when there were more players and more competition. I love hosting and am willing to devote several hours of my week to do this. I do not feel I have destroyed the game with this addition; it is still about the PICKS, not the changes. Just as Redemption had nothing to do with this game, “it’s about who is booted not who is brought back”. What may look complicated, I see as competition. Anyone still can change a list on certain dates it will just cost you. Everyone is at the same disadvantage, which makes a level playing field. I still want the Teals to break 100 points and I would love to see the regular game winner under 20. Will it happen? I don’t know. But I know to win the game a player has to be wise with their list changes. If you all change your list, it doesn’t matter. But now you all have to watch out for the players who don’t change a list. I don’t want anyone to stress. I stand by this quote I have used since I have been hosting the PTTE Game: …this is a game and is intended to be fun.
