Race Information:

Basics

  • 15 Teams
  • 13 Legs
  • 0 Non-Eliminations
  • 10 Fast Forwards (Legs 2-11)
  • 2 Yields
  • 2 U-Turns
  • 2 Speed Bumps

Pre Runs
If you can't be online at the start of a leg, you have the option of Pre Running. Each player will be able to Pre Run a maximum of three legs, out of the first nine legs. Once we get too Leg 10 there will be no more Pre Runs. You may only Pre Run during the first nine legs. To Pre Run means that you schedule a time with either of the Hosts, at that time you will receive the password to the first section via PM. At that time, time will start. Once you finish the leg and PM/E-Mail (you will be told before hand how you are too send your response of the pit stop, ignore what is wrote in the actual section and listen to what was said in the first PM) the person you are Pre Running with, time ends. If the leg is scheduled to start at 9:00 and your Pre Run time is 13 Minutes, then you will be checked into the Pit stop at 9:13.
NOTE: As of now, you may only Pre Run on legs: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 (Pre Runs aren't available on legs with Yields, and U-Turns. Depending on how the Speed Bumps works, this may change).

How The Race Works
Just like last season, each leg will have its own section. In each of those sections, there will be sub-boards for each clue. The answer to section one will be the password to section two and so on. The password for section one will be posted in the Race Information section at the start time. Once you reach the last section, you are to E-mail me your answer (if it says PM then do that, it may be different from time-to-time based on which Host will be collecting answers).

Prizes
The winner of each of the first 11 legs will win a prize. Make sure you PM the Hosts ahead of time when you would like to use your Prize. Listed below are the following prizes:

  • Two Minute Head Start (4) - Allows you to start any of the first twelve legs two minutes before anyone else.
  • Immunity (4) - The winner of the leg before a Yield or U-Turn will win immunity.
  • Time (3) - If you win this prize, you will win the ability to choose the time for the following leg.
If second place arrives before the Fast Forward (and are first at that time) then they will receive the prize too. However, this will only occur when you beat the FF.

Confessionals
Each player will have there own confessional section where they can talk about the race privately. The only people who are able to see that section are the two hosts and yourself. After each leg, a set of questions will be posted in the 'Confessional Questions' section. You will need to answer those questions (in good detail) before the start of the next leg. If they aren't completed, you won't be able to check into the next pit stop until they are. When you post your confessionals please do it in the following format:
