Rules and Stuff:American Idol Season 9
How It Works
Welcome to the American Idol pool. This pool has been run since Season One by user Jackass (Aaron), but Season Nine will be the first
time it's online. Here's how it works:
When the Top 12 is set, users guess the order in which the contestants are eliminated from the show.
For each contestant you guess exactly right, you get 10 points - or 20 points if it's the show's season winner. If you're off by one
place
(e.g. your 8th place pick gets booted off in 9th or 7th place), you get 7 points. If you're off by two places, you get 6 points, and
so on
down to zero. That's it!
There are a few wrinkles based on how the show itself works. Season Eight had 13 finalists, which just meant everyone had to do 13
picks
intead of 12. Everything else worked the same.
For various reasons, sometimes two contestants are booted in one show. When that happens, contestants are considered to be booted off
in
the order they were sent packing, unless the show specifies who got fewer votes that week. When the judges use their save, that
contestant
is not considered booted off that week.
This is a pay pool. All entry money goes into the pot and is dispersed to the winners.
The entry fee is $10.00 ($10.60 if using debit/credit with PayPal - details next page), due by 2010-04-01. My address is on the next page.
