GLOSSARY ROUTE MARKER: Yellow and red flag that marks the locations of further instructions. DETOUR: A choice between two different ways to accomplish a goal or reach a destination. On the surface, one may seem easy but involves some sort of twist; the other may seem difficult, but in the end may be the quicker choice. ROADBLOCK: A task in which only one member of the two-person Team may participate; in most cases, the other member must wait for the partner to accomplish the goal. FAST FORWARD: Each leg has one FAST FORWARD, which allows the Team who wins it to proceed directly to the next PIT STOP without having to do any further tasks, including DETOURs or ROADBLOCKs, on the way. The trick is that only the first Team to find the FAST FORWARD on the leg may use it; any subsequent Team who finds it will have wasted their time and must go back and complete all tasks. In addition, a Team may claim only one FAST FORWARD during the entire race. PIT STOP: The end destination for each leg of a race, at which point a Team must "clock in." The last Team to arrive at most PIT STOPs is eliminated from the race. A Team will leave the PIT STOP at the same time they clock in, only at the opposite time of day; for instance, a Team that clocks in at 9 am will leave at 9 pm. |
