Obvious Rule Patch
Thank you, TV Tropes
The TAR18 Casino Game is now closed to new entrants.
As you can probably tell, I'm super-enthusiastic about having another Super-Leg this week. Because, being the silly person that I am, I assumed that after the Week 1 stuff, they'd be done for the season... So I didn't create a rule to compensate. You know, a rule other than "throw out the entries", which was the previous rule.
But, no more!!!
From next week on, if there is a Super Leg, I will be scoring the episode based on the rankings at the Faux-PitStop. And any teams still racing around out there will all be tied for the next available payout.
That means, if we did scoring this week, both Zev/Justin and Kent/Vyxsin would've scored the 8th place payout of .4x and no one would've gone 0x for the week.
Yeah, it did look like Kent/Vyxsin was going to get there last, but I feel safer going with this rule rather than making educated guesses based on when they'll check into the pitstop. And scoring it based on the "current ranking" could be difficult if multiple teams are at various stages of a Detour or Roadblock. This is the most simple way to enforce this rule.
The only exception to this rule is if only the 1st place team checks in like how the original Super-Leg did it. In that case, I'll just award the difference between the 1st and 2nd place payouts to the 1st place wagers, as a little bonus to them.
(I'm not going to score every wager with a 2nd place payout. I'm not that generous.) 
Next week, the real gimmick to the season begins. I've already thrown enough rule clarifications at you for one week.
TAR17 Teams Remaining
Gary/Mallory
Flight Time/Big Easy
Jaime/Cara
Jet/Cord
Kent/Vyxsin
LaKisha/Jennifer
Margie/Luke
Ron/Christina
Zev/Justin
Bah.
Silly Scrooge.
Seeing as I can't find any holes in my new Superleg rules, I look forward to seeing how the TAR Producers destroy the game next time. I like the new bah humbug rules! Thats my votes.
26 points on LaKisha & Jen, All *sigh* 9 points again on the Cowboys...
20 cowboys 30 - Gary/Mallory Anyway, I will take my 9 points and go all in on the globetrotters.
my score is incorrect. could you correct? 20 pts on cowboys (20 x 1.6 = 32) thanks!
20 pts on cowboys
The reason for the scoring discrepancy is because I had to throw out last week's results due to the "To Be Continued" episode. i read my score before the message. sorry about that, jim. damn, TAR! ok. 17pts on cowboys and 6pts on gary/mallory. thanks, chiubakka 30 on Gary/Mallory 30 on Margie/Luke The Amazing Race Fan from Hong Kong!
30 on Jet/Cord
It's kinda sad that we've only had, like, three weeks of scoring so far this season. 30 points - Jet/Cord Margie/Luke x 30 30 points jet and cord 9 points Luke and Margi
30 points on Margie/Luke
Sorry on phone Jbenz will pm to confirm
Oops, almost forgot the bets after being out most of the week on spring break holiday! 10 on Margie/Luke Gary & Mallory - 15

If margie and luke can win a trip for arriving first last week, those of us who went all in on Margie and Luke (was I the only one?) should get something. At least a perfect bet shout out.

As you can see by the wagers this week, this is practically a non-scoring week as well.
