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 6th Team Eliminated

Jet and Cord
Previous Season/Result: Season 16/2nd place

These cowboy brothers were my personal favorite racers.
No nonsense brothers who ran the race how I think I would.
Good luck in your future boys.

Now on to the Scores

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

Congratulations ARnutz! You hold the lead.
And it had nothing to do with driving me crazy.
It had to do with 6 of us thinking they would finish 1 or 2.

1. ARnutz – 0

2. vennui – 4
2. Yogi – 4

4. Corvis - 5

5. beau_30 – 7

6. louislam – 8
6. michel – 8

^8. esquire – 10
8. Molaholic - 10

10. kircon - 16

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.

That's it for now.
Post your list.
Sit back and enjoy the next episode of:
The Amazing Race 18

I am choosing vennui's excuse to win the extra tie-breaker point.

"I am late because I am worried about my cuboys . Please,don't let tonight be their last round-up."

My next excuse was beau's:

"The reason you are late again is because you were up all night trying to find the the right outfit for your 100 year old highschool reunion since everything you know is way out of style and you took a time machine into the future just to attend and try to hit up with your old crushes child who is now the president of the united states."

I am old but not that old, you little wippersnapper.

Look for one more tie-breaker. And thanks for making me laugh. k

I hope the free list change is still in an effect. I would like to change my picks. If its not to late
