PTTE: The longest running RTVW game!

Are you ready for some PTTE?
What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means

"Picks To The End"

Talofa
Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new season of Survivor.
The 19th season to be exact.

We are on the island of Samoa
in the heart of the Pacific

There are also 10 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Who do you think will win?

How far will this Evil go?
Does it have any more tricks?
Will it triumph?

Is there anyone to fight against it?

Keep watching to see.

And while you are waiting why not join this game.

To start the game you'll need to

post a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order for the season.

Starting with the next (#10) to be eliminated and
ending with the winner (#1).
Unless you play the Teal game. (see below)

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.
Use any spoiler information available to you,
coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do.

Kelly Sharbaugh was the 8th Castaway to be voted out.
She was the 10th to leave the game.

Do you want to join the fun?

It is still a great time to join.

Here are the divisions:

Regular PTTE – Lowest score wins

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with next booted (#10)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

Medium Teal PTTE – Highest score wins

How do you play as a Medium Teal Player?
Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with the Sole Survivor (#20)
and ending with first booted (#11)

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, after each episode.
They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's bootee would finish
and where the bootee actually finished.

3) You will be given penalty points every time you change your PTTE list.

+5 points for regular game
-5 points for medium teal game
+8 points for All-Star game
-8 points for All-Star Medium Teal game

You may change your list as many times as you want, up to the deadline.
The last list at the time of deadline will be used.

4) 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.

5) The game will be open for anyone to join at anytime.

If you do not enter before the first 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.

This week you will start with 40 points.

PRE-SEASON BONUS:
Week 10
To reward those who keep their original list I will again offer a
"Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.
The longer you keep your list (without changing it), the more points I will add or take-away.

Keep your list for:
3 weeks = -1 point or +1 point for teal
7 weeks = -1 points or +1 points for teal
11 weeks = -2 points or +2 points for teal
Final week = -2 points or +2 points for teal

If you would like to do a little more research check out CBS

If you have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.
(Private Message located top right on page, larger envelope icon.)

Post your list and number them from 1 to 10.
Sit back and enjoy:
Survivor 19: Samoa

I will make a copy of your list one minute before the start of the show.
You may change your first lists as many times as you want,
up to 7:59 pm EDT on Thursday, November 19, 2009.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

KIRCON’S RAMBLINGS
