Default Amazing Race - Unfinished Business - Pool 2

OK folks...found a very different way to play this game.
http://www.funofficepools.com/poolinfo.php?Pool_ID=AR18

I have started a CalgaryPuck Pool at this site and if you want to join simply PM me your nickname and email address and Ill input your info to give this a go. It doesn't specify a set limit on teams so I will assume its open to as many or as little that want to join.
  • Amazing Race pools are played in two stages
    • Stage 1 starts when the show starts
      • Pick which team you think will be the winner (overall winner - typically worth 3 points * number of teams competing)
      • Assign 20 points to who you think will finish last each week
      • Receive the points assigned to the team who is last (whether eliminated or not)
      • You can change your overall winner pick anytime (worth 3 points * number of remaining teams)
    • Stage 2 starts during the final week (typically three teams left)
      • Assign 40 points to which team you think will win
      • Receive the points assigned to the winner of the Amazing Race
      • Receive overall winner points (1st, 2nd and 3rd place points are given)
    • All stages (Optional)
      • Answer bonus questions for additional points
      • Sample bonus questions:
        • Which team wins this week's leg?
        • Which occurs first, the Detour or the Roadblock?
  • Most points wins!
    • Total score = points won each week + bonus points + overall winner points

If you joined and havent made your picks yet get them in before you forget. You can change picks right up to the first episode.
