3) Scoring Points: Big Brother 4 HouseGuests will be awarded points based on their actions, and outcome of events (e.g., appears in a towel) during an episode. Episode #3 of Big Brother 4, scheduled for broadcast on 7/11/03, will be the first episode used to accrue points to registered players. Team point totals will be updated by 11AM Eastern Time following the night of each new Big Brother 4 broadcast. All decisions regarding scoring in the Big Brother 4 Fantasy League will be made by an "Official Scorer", a CBS.com representative whose decisions are final on matters relating to the awarding of points in this game. Points in each episode will be awarded ONLY for qualifying activities occurring during new, previously unseen footage. No points will be awarded for events that occur during flashbacks of any sort, or for activities visible on monitors during in-studio segments with CBS host. Points are awarded solely for material broadcast during the Big Brother 4 television program, nothing seen on a webcam is eligible for points unless it's also used on the broadcast show.
Following are the categories for which points will be awarded in the Big Brother 4 Fantasy League (categories and corresponding point awards are subject to change at any time):
Head of Household: You score 20 points if one of your Fantasy HouseGuests wins the Head of Household competition.
Nomination: You LOSE 10 points per HouseGuest if a member of your Fantasy Team is nominated for eviction.
Eviction: You LOSE 15 points if a member of your Fantasy Team is evicted from the Big Brother House.
Food Competition: You score 3 points if one of your HouseGuests wins a Food Competition. If more than one of your HouseGuests is on a team that wins the Food Competition, you score 3 points for each of them.
