POPO'S TAR 12 FANTASY GAME! [FINALE RESULTS P39]

After a long wait ~~from the much screwed up Allstars version with Eric and Danielle winning~~, The Amazing Race 12 is finally back! With never see before teams combination such as lesbian team Kate and Pat (who are also ministers... controversy... controversy...), goths Kynt and Vyxsin as well as grandpa and grandchild Nicolas and Donald, this race is set to be a blast!

OVERVIEW

In this game, you will each be randomly assigned two teams from TAR 12. Your fate in this game will lie in the hands of the two teams you're assigned to, because each week you'll be given points based on how well your teams have done throughout the course of the race.

However, joining this game does not take up much of your time, because what you simply have to do each week is to answer a simple set of 10 to 20 questions. The only time when you will be involved in challenges is when you are going to use the Yield or the Fast Forward in this game.

It's that easy!

HOW TO JOIN?

I will need a minimum of 11 players in this game. The maximum I can take will be 22, and it's based on a first come first serve basis.

If i have 22 players, i'll simply pair all participants up, such that there are 11 teams of two. If i can't reach 22 participants, i'll have another way of eliminating players such that by the end of leg 1, there will definitely only be TEN players remaining so that the game can run smoothly. I might also not be able to ensure that everyone who signup will get a spot in this game for now. So TAKE NO CHANCE and send in your ranking now if you want a confirm spot in this game.

Now for the sign-up part, you'll need to PM to me the ranking of the teams in TAR 12 in the order of your preference. From your ranking provided, you'll then have 2 teams randomly assigned to you.

As the winners of last season, Ruth and Amarillo's prize is that they get to pick a team that will be playing for them in this game. Even though Heather and TARfan1 and Genius and wgal were in the final three last season, i can't do the same as the previous two seasons and award you a team of your choice as your reward because this will disrupt the game play. However, as the final three of last season, all six of them take up the 6 out of 11 (or 22) confirmed spots in this game, if i do not hear from them by this weekend (end of signup too), their spots will be given to someone else who wants to join in the fun!

Points System

Depending on when a team finishes a Detour or Roadblock (the task which appear first on the show), they get the following points:

First: 30
Second: 27
Third: 24
Fourth: 21
Fifth: 18
Sixth: 15
Seventh: 12
Eighth: 9
Ninth: 6
Tenth: 3
Eleventh: 0

Depending on when a team finishes a Detour or Roadblock (the task which appear last on the show), they get the following points:

First: 50
Second: 45
Third: 40
Fourth: 35
Fifth: 30
Sixth: 25
Seventh: 20
Eighth: 15
Ninth: 10
Tenth: 5
Eleventh: 0

Depending on when the teams check in at the Pit Stop, they get the following points:

First: 70
Second: 63
Third: 56
Fourth: 49
Fifth: 42
Sixth: 35
Seventh: 28
Eighth: 21
Ninth: 14
Tenth: 7
Eleventh: 0

There are also a few ways that teams can pick up or lose points from:

1. If a team is on the first flight into their country of destination, they get 20 points (if there is only one flight out of the country, this is null and void.)

2. If a team uses the Yield or U-TURN, they get 50 points.

3. However, if a team is Yielded or U-TURNED, they lose 50 points.

4. If a team uses the Fast Forward, they get 200 points.

5. If a team wins a prize in addition to coming in first on a leg, they get 20 points.

6. A player with their two teams assigned coming in FIRST and SECOND (no other combination allowed) will receive a 100 points bonus.

7. If on any leg a team starts in last and finishes first, that team will earn a 50 points bonus.

8. If on any leg a team starts in first and finishes last, that team will earn a 50 points penalty.

9. If a team uses the Yield or U-TURN and check-in after the team they have Yielded, they receive a 50 points penalty. The team has to be Yielded or U-TURNED in order for this to apply. Meaning if a team Yielded or U-TURNED a team before them and the Yield or U-TURN does not come into effect, this penalty will not apply.

10. If a Yielded or U-TURNED team check-in before the team who Yielded or U-TURN them, they will earn a 50 points bonus. The team has to be Yielded or U-TURNED in order for this to apply. Meaning if a team has not been Yielded o U-TURNED because a team behind them used it on them, this bonus will not apply.

11. If a team who went for the Fast Forward didn't come in first placing, the team will receive a 50 points penalty.

12. If a team beat the team who went for the Fast Forward and come in first, the team will earn a 50 points bonus.

Teams will also be awarded special bonuses for each leg:

+30 Eric and Danielle's luck will win us the race (For the luckiest team on the race)

+30 Dustin and Kandice's competitiveness will bring us further (For the most competitive team on the race)

+30 Charla and Mirna's perseverance will stay with us (For the team who tried so hard and never give up during the leg)

+30 Uchenna and Joyce's love will keep us together (For the team who gets along best with each other; or other teams during the leg)

+30 Cha Cha Cha's - Teletubbies Go To War (For the team with the best quote of the leg; or if none, for the team who said the episode title)

However, teams will also be given special penalties for each leg:

-30 Rob and Amber's evilness will be our downfall (For the most manipulative, plain evil team during the leg)

-30 Teri and Ian's bad luck will cause us the race (For the team with the worst luck during the leg)

-30 Kevin and Drew's bickerings will get us no where (For the most quarrelsome team during the leg)

-30 John Vito and Jill's cluelessness will bring us no where (For the team with the worst navigational skills or have no idea what they are doing most of the time during the leg)

At the end of each leg, I will also give each team a Wildcard bonus or penalty, based on one thing that stuck out to me during the leg. This bonus can range anywhere from +30 points to 30 points.

Players can pick up bonuses as well:

1. By answering 10-20 questions in each prediction round before each leg starts which is worth a certain number of points. Will vary and change from leg to leg as the game commence.

2. By using your Yield on one other player/team, you will get a bonus of 100 points. The player/team Yielded will lose 100 points instead.

There are a total of 2 Yields placed in the game. (might vary) However, each player/team can only use their Yield once throughout the entire game. But there is no limit to the number of times a player/team can be Yielded during the game.

3. By using the Fast Forward, the player/team will automatically rise to first place and gain a 100 points bonus ahead of the leader. If the leader decides to go for the Fast Forward, the player/team will gain 100 points.

There are a total of 2 Fast Forwards placed in the game. (might vary) However, each player can only use their Fast Forward once throughout the entire game.

That's about it! If you still have anything you're unclear about.. feel free to post your queries on this thread! Let the sign-up begin!
