Well since the folders are up, I'll post this now...


Another race, another poll...this time it's a little different. Because instead of scoring as many points as possible, you want to score as few points as possible.

The main part of the poll will be a team ranking. Every episode, you'll rank ALL the teams, from first to last, in the positions you think they will end up in at the end of the leg.

For example for leg 1, you might put down:

1st-Hera and Gustavus
2nd-Freddy and Kendra
3rd-Avi and Joe
4th-Jonathan and Victoria
5th-Kris and Jon
6th-Lena and Kristy
7th-Donald and Mary Jean
8th-Lori and Bolo
9th-Maria and Meredith
10th-Rebecca and Adam
11th-Aaron and Hayden


Then what would happen is you would get points (which are BAD) based on the difference in what you predicted they would be in, and what they actually finished in (absolute values, so if you placed a team 5th, your score would be 2 for that team if they placed 3rd or 7th)

This would be multiplied by a "progress multiplier". To balance the fact that with fewer teams there's less of a chance of error, the score you would get for all the teams in a leg would be multiplied by a certain number depending on the leg:

Legs 1,2, and 3: x1
Legs 4,5, and 6: x2
Legs 7,8, and 9: x4
Legs 10,11,12, and 13: x8

Thus, mistakes later on in the Race cost more than early on, but there's less of a spread (in leg 1 the max score for 1 team could be 10-you predict 11th and they come in 1st or vice versa-but in leg 13 the max score for a team is only 2- you predict 1st and they come in 3rd or vice versa)

There will still be bonus questions, but instead of ADDING points if you get it right, they will SUBTRACT points... for example:

BQ example:
Will a Yield be used in the leg? (-3 points)
Yes
No

Usually, there will be 2 questions, sometimes more. You also will get at least a -1 just for putting in a guess. At the end, the LOWEST SCORE will win. (Think of this poll as a golf tournament)

Here's what a leg 1 score could look like:

PredictionTeamActualScore
1stHera and Gustavus4th3
2ndFreddy and Kendra10th8
3rdAvi and Joe3rd0
4thJonathan and Victoria2nd2

11thAaron and Hayden6th5

BQ 1missed0
BQ 2correct-3

FINAL LEG 1 TOTAL30


Various notes:

-I'm working now, so I can't promise yall results the night of eps (I work late, so I don't get home till 9:30, so I have to watch part of it on tape)....probably Wednesday night or so. Though the following weeks questions I'll try to post Tuesday night if I can.

-In case I can't see an ep for some reason, Ill say so here, and someone should be able to post the answers up here (and I would appreciate it if it happened).

-In case of an error in scoring, please tell me, so I can correct it.

-If there is a dispute about an answer, I'll try to resolve it as best as I can, but my decisions for the most part will be final.

-To make things easier for me, here's how I would like your team predictions done...

1st place team
2nd place team
3rd place team
...etc (you don't have to put numbers beside them if you don't want to; I'll assume the team listing will go from top (first) to bottom (last), that way you can get them all done really easy)

Then the answers to any bonus questions.


-If you have any pre-game questions, feel free to post them here; I'll put up the first set of questions sometime next week.


GOOD LUCK ALL!

yeah Padivius.....just put the answers up before the show starts on the East Coast (Tuesdays 9pm--6pm board time). If you miss a week or two don't worry....we always structure the polls so that you can come from behind rather quickly. I try to put the following weeks questions right after an episode ends, but I can't promise that this season, but they hsould be up Wednesdays at the latest. I'll put leg 1's questions up probably this weekend.
