Final Map:

"PRESS RELEASE: CHRISTIAN SIRIANO TO HOST AMAZING RACE ALONGSIDE WAN QUO"
Well TV Land, after the sudden cancellation of the rival "Avant Tai" version of The Amazing Race where she became infamous for being the bitch that made us hate ourselves for loving her, Wan Quo has jumped at the opportunity to launch the second season of her (and team-mate and friend Chung Fong) version of the Race. Of course, with Fong's pregnancy already announced little under a month ago, Quo's new cohost was somewhat of a mystery. The press conference held today though by Quo revealed her new partner - and we have to admit, it's a match made in fierceness. Oh yes, Christian Siriano (who starred in the 4th and most recent version of the rival AT version, alongside good friend Nina Garcia) has joined forces to great duo brimming with bitch factor. Quo on the deal: "Look, we all know that I was the most interesting and beloved member of our team - even Chung knows that. Christian is going to push me to new levels of mean."

That's not all though, as Siriano was the one to announce that this season of the race (which the duo announced would only be 8 episodes long, albeit with a double header at some stage) would take place entirely in Asia, a first for the race. Christian's exact words were "Look, we all know that the Japan leg last time kinda was boring, so we have to surpass it - and trust me, with the tasks the two of us have cooked up, it so will."

Rules:

MONEY:

• Money will be handed out at the start of every leg in the form of US $.

• Teams can convert their money at any point during the leg, to the currency that they need. If, during the leg, a team runs out of money, they can either beg to teams or beg to locals - however, teams may not beg to locals on a Non Begging Leg (NBL). Furthermore, teams may only beg to locals a total of THREE times throughout the entire race; therefore, teams can not easily rely on this as a method of gaining money. If a team wishes to beg to locals, they must post *beg to locals*. After FOUR updates, they will receive the equivalent of $10 in that country's currency.

• If a team begs to another team, they must be at the same route marker, or in the middle of a task (ie: Roadblock/Detour). A team may only give 20% of their current total to a team, and can only do so once per leg. If a team wishes to give another team money, they must post *We give (Recipient Team) (Amount)!*, with the recipient team posting *We receive (Amount) from (Donating Team)*.

• Teams will receive extra money (between $1- $5) at the start of the leg if they're characters have been deemed as having developed during the previous leg. I'm not necessarily looking for storyline arcs - it's more I want myself, other teams and readers to be entertained by characters who are developing as real people. Also, teams will receive $5 for the title quote, and between $5 - $1 for their finishing position (1st = $5, 2nd = $3, 3rd = $1)
  

AIRPORTS:

• Airports are to be dealt with as usual; once the first team arrives at the airport, I will post a list of airlines on which you can travel and then you must run to find the best airline possible. However, there are also connecting flights (such as those found in AT's TAR2). If your flight connects, then when you land at the connecting airport you will find a list of airlines that you can try to use to catch a better flight.

• There are no queues in this race - it's first to post wins in terms of tickets.
  

NON-ELIMINATION LEGS / START OF LEGS:

• Teams who finish last on a Non-Elimination Leg must do a Speed Bump that only they must complete on the next leg.

• Teams will start legs at intervals based on their finishing order. So, for example, on the second leg, there might be a 4/3/3 split (for example, that's not what it will actually be as far as I'm hoping).
  

IF THERE IS CONTROVERSY...:

• Because let's face it, there always is. First of all, until I post the "preview" for the next leg, standings are NOT final. If I realise that I've made a mistake and perhaps skipped you ahead an update, and it alters the result in terms of placement, then I may change it around. If this means, however, that a team should not have been eliminated, then I will probably look to an Elimination Challenge based on the Detour or Roadblock to sort that out.

• If Yuku goes down during a leg and does not come back up within the next 30 minutes (which admittedly is unlikely), then the leg is postponed and teams are frozen at the position where they were at the last update. The leg will then continue at the next available date (according to the race calendar).

ROADBLOCKS, FAST FORWARDS, YIELDS, U-TURNS AND T-JUNCTIONS:

• A team member may only complete seven Roadblocks in total throughout the season.

• Fast Forwards will be dotted throughout the race, albeit not on every leg.

• Yields last 15 minutes from when the yielded team posts *turns over hourglass* when they arrive at the Yield.

• U-Turns run the same as per usual; you go back and complete the Detour option you did not choose previously.

• The T-Junction, a task only found in this race, forces a team to split up, with each member having to go to different locations to recover half a code each. Once they reunite and open the cluebox, they can proceed on the race.
  

• As per usual, FFs, Yields, U-Turns and T-Junctions can only be used once (seperately, of course) during the Race
