Pool - Week 7 Results (Legs 7 & 8)!
Peaches, you have the highest scoring squad for leg 7! Your Bransen-less squad was the only one to pass 400 this leg. For your reward, you get to name the Winner's Choice category for leg 9 (since leg 8 immediately followed 7 this week). Scores were really close (except for the 3 at the bottom :sad: ), and in case you haven't noticed it, the ones getting Roadblocker points are the ones moving up the ladder, so choose them wisely! :cool: Still, no one was able to gain on jmarsh98, who increased his lead overall by 16 points. I don't know about you's guys, but somebody is begging to be Yielded. :twisted: :wink: (and no, Pepette, it's not me. :evil: ) Immediately behind jmarsh98 are bjb544 and idolfan in a tie for second place! Second is nice...but who remembers runners-up? Use those Yields! :twisted: No one used the Yield this week (hello??? :shock: is anyone paying attention??? :razz: ) and since it was the second of several non-elimination legs, no one won any boot list points. I almost set a new low for points earned during a leg, but jayusmagnus would have none of that and fairly well cemented his position in last place. :wink: And now, the standings after leg 7: Leg 7 Results (Squad leaders are listed first under your name) 1.

It will be a week without The Amazing Race, so hopefully the leg 8 Pool results will satisfy everyone's TAR fix. :wink: * Edited to correct Godlewski & Paolo scores. And Jay's score, too.

Brad... Not to complain about the last place spot (I've been there all along) but either I typed it wrong or it was mis-read. I did trade out the Gaghans...and added the Bransens. But I thought I had made the Linzes my captains. Did I not? :? If I failed to write that out I deserve to pay the price...but would you double check (unless the pm is now gone to the electric graveyard...in which case...Hakuna Matata!). Thanks, Jay

In order to prevent people from working around the double penalty for trading out squad leaders, I intended that any leader that is replaced from one week to the next pay the double points. However, that rule is kind of "bulky" and I would probably change it if I had it to do over again. Plus, I would have generally sent you a confirmation PM to make sure you knew how the points were gonna work, but in my fever-filled delirium this week, I never did that. So I'll just penalize you the standard rate of exchanging teams. Now, if you had been in the lead of the Pool, we might have ourselves a BCS-type controversy on our hands. Fortunately, your squad is less like USC and more like UAB. :razz: :wink:

Congratulations, Spidey, you have the highest scoring squad for leg 8 (444)! Your Roadblockers kept you out of a 4-way tie for 1st—nice job! Instead, there was a 3-way tie for second between jmarsh98, idolfan, and Kitri (414), followed very closely by 3rd place Peaches (411). Another tie—for 4th place—completes the top 4 spots with Buckets and RealitySista (399). Scores were really close again, though no one was able to gain on jmarsh98 on the overall leaderboard. Idolfan did pull ahead of bjb544 into sole possession of 2nd place overall. :cool: Sam I Am retained her 4th place position. Oh yeah, special congratulations to Latinogirl for being the first player to correctly predict a Philimination! Who knew that was gonna take so long this season??? 8O Standings after Leg 8: Leg 8 Results (Squad leaders are listed first under your name) 1.

Peaches & Spidey, you both get to send me a Winner's Choice point category for next week's leg since we had two legs last week.

I've never done this well in a pool. YAY me! :lol:

The Amazing Race returns this week! Don't forget to update your Roadblockers (it's free free FREE!). And if you intend to Yield anyone, get that in, too! :twisted: Booo for CMA; Yay for TAR. :wink: Poolmaster's full disclosure for leg 9: Weaver (leaders) Bransen Linz Paolo Nick Linz & Rolly Weaver for Roadblockers
