LAST EDITED ON 02-15-11 AT 06:10 PM (EST)

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the heart-pounding adventure known as STOPP. Last season's winner was a come-from-behind character who just stuck to the tasks at hand (and perhaps out-thunk the power-players) and became our first STOPP champion.
This season promises to add a couple of twists in order to keep everyone on their toes. Including the host...me, tribe.
All you need to play is a tribe(team) of 4 survivors who will collect the most points for you. Have the most points at the end and you will join CTgirl in the STOPP Hall of Fame.

The Rules
1. All Entries are due by 7:59 BOARDTIME on the day of airing (Usually Wednesdays with 1 Sunday Finale).
2. All decisions regarding points, penalties and twists are solely my disgression. If you have any grievances or questions please share via Private Mail with me.
3. Par usual I have reserved a rules slot just for the possibility of a missed rule that I will remember/discover a little later on.

Strategy/Gameplay:
Each week you will choose 4 of the current survivors for your team.
1 will be your Lifeguard, 3 will be your Swimmers
Lifeguards will not collect points, only the Swimmers will.
Lifeguards must be claimed within the subject of your post.
Lifeguards will be on a first come first claimed basis. Only one lifeguard per player, one player per lifeguard.
Once a lifeguard has been claimed it cannot be claimed by anyone else for that week.
You may NOT choose the same lifeguard in consecutive entries.
If a Lifeguard choice is invalid you may not collect Swimmer points and will most likely result in automatically going to Redemption Island.

Redemption Island:
As a feature of this season, if you end up on Redemption Island you will (as similar to the actual game) be forced into a duel situation.
Competing Redemption Islanders will pick 3 swimmers each. These Swimmers CANNOT match each other.
The Redemption Islander that ends up with the most weekly Swimmer points will remain on RI while the loser will be kicked out of the STOPP.
There will be 2 chances to rejoin the STOPP game. Refer to the calendar below for the "when".
