The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2012 Edition

The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game No. 5, The Fall 2012 Edition!




The season premiere is Sunday, Sept. 30 at 8 PM. (OK, well... football permitting of course)

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $3 (inflation strikes again!), everyone chooses a team to latch on to before the start of the season. If that team ends up winning race, then YOU will win a $33 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

We will be using the First-to-Post selection method for the draft. You may post 1 and only 1 team during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first team in the post. If they have already been taken, you will need to post again.

The popularity of The Amazing Race game has led to the expansion to 22 DVDTalkers and to hold 2 drafts. The resulting game will produce DVDTalk teams of 2 for each team in the Amazing Race and at the end of the season, we will have 2 winners of $33 Amazon GCs.

The first draft will be held Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9:00 PM EDT (6 PM Pacific) and the 2nd draft will be held on Saturday Sept. 29 at noon EDT (9 AM Pacific). The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

This season's 11 teams:

Ryan & Abbie (Dating Divorcees)
Amy & Daniel (Dating)
Caitlin & Britanny (Friends)
Gary & Will (Substitute Teachers)
James & Abba (Rock & Rollers)
Jaymes & James (Chippendales)
Josh & Brent (Goat Farmers)
Nadiya & Natalie (Twins)
Rob & Kelley (Monster Truckers)
Rob & Sheila (Lumberjacks)
Trey & Lexi (Dating)

You may learn more about the teams at the CBS web site:
http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/season/21/cast/

Post now if you want to play and include which draft you want to participate in (Thursday or Saturday) and I will contact you with my PayPal information by Private Message. You may choose whichever draft is most convenient for you until one of them sells out.

After a draft sells out you will be assigned to the draft time that still has openings.

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EDT Wednesday Sept. 26 for Thursday's draft and Saturday by 3 AM EDT for Saturday's draft. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to another player.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the Personal Gift option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out and an unclaimed team wins, the prize will go to whoever has the highest finisher.

Good Luck!

If we don't have 22 people participating, but we have over 11, I'll go in for a second pick, too.

Sending money now.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2012 Edition

Not sure where some of our regulars have gone, so I'm giving the first one eliminated from the Survivor game a consolation entry into Saturday's draft.

Welcome to the game Goat3001!
