Welcome and Rules

Hello and welcome to the Amazing Race 14 Pool.
This is a no fee, no prize way of tracking 4 of your favorite teams as they criss-cross the globe (can you criss-cross something that's round??).

Here's how it works:
Each player picks four teams. You must make certain that your picks are not the same as another players. This will help eliminate the chance of a tie. As you make submissions, I'll let you know if your team is okay.

Points will be based upon what happens in each episode and here's how they'll be assigned:

1. Place at the Pit Stop
First Place: 100 points
Second Place: 90 points
Third Place: 80 points
Fourth Place: 70 points
Fifth Place: 60 points
Sixth Place: 50 points
Seventh Place: 40 points
Eigth Place: 30 points
Ninth Place: 20 points
Tenth Place: 10 points
LAST (ALL ELIMINATIONS): -100 points

2. Team uses Fast Forward: 100 points

3. Team uses their Yield: 50 points

4. Team Gets Yileded: -50 points

5. Screen shows the team "Currently in first place": 10 points

6. Screen shows the team "Currently in last place": -10 points

7. Only team to complete a detour option: 20 points

8. Team gives up on Detour option: -10 points

9. MONKEY points: a team says monkey, 10 points. They show a monkey onscreen, 5 points to all teams.

10. Team says the quote that is the episode title: 10 points

I'll keep tabs of scores and post them here on the blog "reasonably quick" and in a Google Spreadsheet after the episode.
