Pool Rules

 

 

 

Pool #1 = Random Survivor

 

Purpose:          To get the winning Survivor.

(100% luck)

 

Involvement:    You will be notified of your randomly assigned Survivor prior to the first episode

 

Rules:              Swapping is not allowed. 

 

Prize:               $20 to first place, $10 to second place, $5 to third place.

 

 

Pool #2 = Tribes

 

Purpose:          To accumulate more points than the opposing tribe.

(50% luck, 45% ability, 5% team strategy)

 

Involvement:    None, pool decisions are determined by 1) the show 2) other pools 3) your goof-ups.

 

Rules:              2 Tribes of 8 players each, your tribe name and tribe assignment is the same as your random                                   Survivor assignment.  Each tribe will have a volunteer chief, chief is responsible for making sure                  that all tribe members get their picks in each week (or suffer the penalty!)

 

Points:             Tribe points are an accumulation of each player’s points for each week from Pool #3 and #4.

 

                        What if my Survivor is Booted?

                        If your Survivor is booted, your points are not counted into your tribe's points for that week, but                                  your tribe point input will continue as normal for the subsequent weeks.

 

                        What if there is a Tribal Swap?

                        Then those Survivors are swapped to the other team.

 

                        What happens when my Tribe wins a challenge?

                        Your tribe gets a 10 point bonus.

 

                        What if I forget to get my picks in?

                        Every player that does not get their picks in loses 10 points from their team input points.

 

                        What happens post-merge?

                        Tribes remain, pool does not merge.  Boot rule remains.  Individual players that win reward                                    challenges get to add a 10 point bonus to their team input points for that week. 

 

Prize:               16 scratch tickets will be purchased.     If you win, you get your scratch ticket AND you get another                one that belonged to a member of the losing tribe (you can even select which loser you take it                            from).

 

 

 

 

Pool #3 = Boot Order

 

Purpose:          To predict the correct order of the booted Survivors.

General Rules

 

Any use of external information (internet, magazines, friends, etc) is considered cheating and is TOTALLY encouraged.  It will make the game more fun for you, without helping you one stinkin' bit.

 

Braintrusts can be formed, but winnings can not be split with another person who did not win it.  Although, winnings CAN be used to buy cookies or other gustatory sundries for all pool participants.

 

In the case of an unforeseen error or oversight, rules and guidelines can be changed at any time to improve game play and equilibrate opportunities.  This is a democratic correction process that probably won't include your input (if confused, see any current election process in Central America).
