Hi everyone! Long time no see :)

I was thinking of hosting a power rankings for this season of the amazing race. I know that this season is ~very spoiled~ so please don't play if you know the spoilers. Ruins the fun!

Here's how it works: Each week, you will rank the remaining teams (in the first week, there are 11) from 1 (least chance of being eliminated) to 11 (most chance of being eliminated). You will then get a standardized amount of points (out of 10, rounded to the hundredths place) based on how you rated the team that actually went home. I am standardizing the scores so the early weeks don't carry more weight than the later weeks. In order to get your score for a given week, take the rank you assigned to the team that went home, divide it by the total number of teams, and multiply by 10. In the event of a non-elimination leg, you'll still receive points for the team that came in last. I'll decide on a finale format... later on (:

The cast can be found here: https://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/cast/

Here's an example

Let's say Buffy & Shadow and Vic & Dylan 2 of the 11 teams on TAR (as if :yay:). If you rank Buffy & Shadow at 8 and Vic & Dylan at 11, you would receive the following points:

Buffy & Shadow eliminated: 8 [your ranking] / 11 [number of teams left] =.7272 * 10 [standardized to 10 each week] = 7.27/10
Vic & Dylan eliminated: 11/11 = 1 * 10 = 10/10

So you'd receive 7.27 points if Buffy & Shadow went home, or 10 points if Vic & Dylan went home, for that week.

Hopefully that explanation makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions.

For the sake of hiding your rankings each week, we'll have each team PM their rankings to me. I won't open them until the episode is over! I will also PM my rankings to someone who's already sent me theirs (so I can be held accountable). Please send in your rankings by 8:30PM EST on Wednesday each week. TAR 31 premieres tomorrow (!) so get those rankings in.

Hopefully there's enough interest for this :=]:

I do not spoil (except for the Bachelor but that's a silly show and I have to spoil to watch it lol). Great idea, DD!

Anyone who wants to join in for week 2 (or for any week) can! It was only Dylan and I in week 1, and I even missed my 8:30 deadline :dd: Also, neither of us did that well. People can see if they can catch Dylan/myself with a couple-point defecit, and we can have a competition from week 2 onwards. It'll still be fun! Plus, Dylan or myself might miss a week going forward. I'll post results for the first two weeks after this week, so please join!
