* During Leg Eight, teams adopted a Vietnamese child, who was added to their team; the children then left during Leg 10.
A green FF next to a leg title means that there was a Fast Forward available, but no team chose to use it.
An orange <> next to a leg title means that there was a Yield available, but no team chose to use it.
A light brown <> next to a leg title means that there was a U-Turn available, but no team chose to use it.
A purple <> next to a leg title means that there was a T-Junction available, but no team chose to use it.
A dark brown R next to a Yield, U-Turn or T-Junction means that a team received this penalty at a Roadworks.

PREVIOUS SEASONS:
Wan & Chung's Season One!
Wan & Christian's Season Two!

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 $7 - $1 for their finishing position (1st = $7, 2nd = $5, 3rd = $3, 4th = $2, 5th = $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.

• NEW RULE: Certain legs will be under "staged check in" rules. In these legs, once the first team has checked in a timer will begin. Once the timer begins, teams have 15 minutes to check in before they will start the next leg an update behind teams who have checked in within the 15 minute period. For every fifteen minutes teams do not check in, they will fall an update behind - so, for example, if Team 1 checks in at 12:37 PM, Team 2 must check in by or on 12:52 PM, or they will fall one update behind. If Team 3 checks in at 13:09 PM, they would start the next leg two updates behind, and so on. To prevent gaps that are too long, teams cannot fall more than 4 updates behind.
  

• UPDATED RULE: On legs without staged check in, teams will start legs together, on the same update. This removes the 3/4/4 split idea from previous seasons.
  

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).

THE TASKS:

• A team member may only complete eight 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 and introduced in Season One, 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

• The Roadworks, introduced in Season Two, is a task that forces teams to randomly choose any other task - ie: the Detour, Roadblock, Fast Forward, Yield, U-Turn or T-Junction - and complete it before moving on in the race course.

• "NEW" TASK: At certain points in a leg, there may be people who teams can interract with - just as in ATTAR 2. These people may help or hinder teams in many ways, so it is up to the teams themselves to determine whether they wish to talk to them.
