Rules

Background
This pool is based on the CBS series Survivor 18: Tocantis

Initial Submission (what I need from you)

We’ve changed the way the pool is being run slightly. There is now a team of 5 people you need to pick and you must pick 2 from each of the teams and your 5th pick is your choice, as well there are trades now allowed!

· Picks must be in to Gwen by Friday February 6, 2008 (one week before premiere)

· Your "Team of 5" will consist of 5 people you feel will perform the strongest and possibly go all the way.

· You must choose two people from each of the teams. Two from the “Jalapao” Team and two from the “Timbira” Team, your 5th choice is your pick

· No one will have the same set of 5 people.

· Entry is $5, payable to me or Gwen, please have payment by the time the first episode starts. I do not know all of you, so I can give a bit of grace time here. If you don't know me, and are referred to by a friend, try to get it to me ASAP, and I'll let you ride the first little bit.

We're continuing the hockey pool theme this year

. You are allowed up to two trades

. You can only trade someone when you have lost one of your team mates

. Both trades must be completed before Week 7 Episode begins. This is traditionally when they go from Teams to Individuals.

. You will not lose established points for the person you are trading

. You will not gain established points for the person you are trading for

. You will receive points for the person you trade for beginning when you make the actual trade and from then on

Points, Score, how to win

This is a points based game. You will earn points by how well your "Team of 5" performs. If someone on your team wins Reward, you get points, if someone on your team wins Immunity, you get points. If someone on your team goes all the way and wins, you get more points. If your "Team of 5" moves on every week, you get points, simple eh?

At the beginning of the series, the players are divided out into two tribes. Every week that your players move on you will earn 1 point per player (max 5pts)/week

After the Tribes are merged, it will go into individual mode and points will be based on Reward and Immunity. Everytime one of your players earns Reward or Immunity, you will earn 5 points. As well, with your players moving on, you will earn 1 point per player, for a maximum of 15 points/week

If one of the four people you choose wins the Ultimate Survivor, then you will get a bonus 5 points.

Be careful of who you pick, even if you pick the Ultimate Survivor, they may be your typical underdog who never won anything along the way and there is many points to be had with reward and immunity.

To recap:

1 point per player moving on each week

5 points per player winning Immunity/Reward

5 points for having the player who wins Survivor

I’m not charging any fee for this and doing it because I just enjoy doing it.

If you need any clarification of the rules, or if there is something I missed, please let me know.

If anything beyond the rules happens during the course of Survivor, it is at the discretion of myself to handle the events fairly.
