I don't really have a good bead on who will be a strong competitor this season. Will make placing my bet very difficult.

Groucho

Go Team Mr. Plow!

Any interest in an Amazing Race "Fantasy" game this season? This would run in addition to the usual pool we have, but it would work somewhat differently. Instead of drafting a team, players would draft individual players and form their own "team". The performance of your team is aggregated based on the players in it. The team size would be based on how many participants I get.

Is there the usual flamboyantly gay duo?

Groucho

It doesn't say explicitly on the web page, but draw your own conclusions:

Red Dog

DRG

There's also this:

Groucho

Yeah, I should have noticed that. Bingo is a dead giveaway.

CKMorpheus

Sounds confusing!

davidh777

Yeah, how might this work? So I would draft, say, four random players, and someone on the first team eliminated would earn me zero points, someone on the second team 1 point, etc.?

Groucho

I'm still figuring out how I would score things, assuming people are interested. But essentially, your team would earn points each week based on the performance of the people in in.

For example, if you had a two person team in week one, and one of them came in first and the other was eliminated you might get 10 points for the first contestant and 0 for the second. As long as you still have one player in the race, you will continue to accumulate points.

I want to make it so having players who are consistently strong is better than having players who bumble their way to the final four. So it would be possible to win the fantasy race even if nobody on your team is a first place finisher.

May the ice crew last till the final episode.

What happens if someone is sent home, do you then pick from the remaining pool of people?

CKMorpheus

Hey if you're interested in doing all the math, and others are interested, I'm down!

Groucho

No, because everybody else would be on other people's teams. The player would still be on your team, they just would stop accumulating points (unless they were brought back in the game for some reason).

Another thing: I would allow trading between legs. So it would be possible, due to lopsided trades, for players to end up with different size teams.

JuryDuty

I'm in for the main game as usual. Groucho's game intrigues me though, too.

davidh777

Yeah, I assume it'd be like playing fantasy playoffs--you're hoping to pick players who will have a long run. Early eliminations end up as roster deadwood.

I like the sound of this game so far.

Damfino

I say go for it! Hopefully our games wil complement each other and not compete.

sven

Lots of hotties this season.

cdollaz
