The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Spring 2014 Edition

Welcome to The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game No. 8, The Spring 2014 Edition!

The season premiere is Sunday, Feb. 23 at 8 PM. Like or not, this will be an All-Star season.

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $3, 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.

General Rules:

This will be the contest thread for the entire season.

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.

Once again this season there will be 22 DVDTalkers and 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, Feb. 20 at 9:00 PM EST (6 PM Pacific) and the 2nd draft will be held on Saturday Feb. 22 at noon EST (9 AM Pacific). The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

Please do not edit or delete posts during the draft, if your pick has already been taken or you were too early, you will need to post again.

This season's 11 Amazing Race All-Star teams:

Leo and Jamal (Afghanimals)
Brendon and Rachel (Brenchel)
Jennifer and Caroline (Country Singers)
Cord and Jet (Cowboys)
David and Connor (Father and son cancer survivors)
Herbert "Flight Time" and Nate "Big Easy" (Harlem Globetrotters)
John and Jessica (Engaged)
Margie and Luke (Mother Boy)
Natalie and Nadiya (Twinnies)
Joey and Meghan (YouTube Hosts)
Mark and Bopper (Team Kentucky)

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

If for whatever reason, an announced Amazing Race contestant that you drafted is replaced by a substitute during the show, you will get the substitute in place of your original pick. (This will be known as the Bopper rule).

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 EST Wednesday Feb. 19. 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!
