THE AMAZING RACE Sign-Up Sheet

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the AMAZING RACE! This is where you sign up if you want to participate in this contest.

What it is: A contest in which I post, at random and secret times, a country. That's it. The name of a country. The participants, who will be checking often to see if there's a new country out, will post a single fact about that country. (And, if you can, give a link to your information so we know it's correct.) The last person to check in with a fact is eliminated from that round. The last one standing wins!

I've seen this sort of thing on other forums, so I thought I'd do it here. Yes, there is a prize: Sam*ron has been so kind as to forge a sig pic for the winner to use. A big thank you to Sam*ron!

So if you want to play, then sign up! The competition begins on September 14th! Goooooood luck!

Sounds like fun...I'll play :grin: .

However, I think you should either make posting a link to verify the fact a strict requirement, or drop it altogether (at least until the final round, when confirmation of the winner would be needed). If you go with the former, it will slow things down; and if you go with latter things will be more fast-paced, but it might be necessary to verify facts from time to time.

In any case, it's your contest, so you make the rules (but this one requires a bit of clarification).

The reason I make a link optional is that it depends on where you get your information. If it's from the WWW, post a link.

Sounds good. I'm in.


If you post nothing are you automatically disqualified. I mean, how would you choose who was the slowest if 5 people didn't post anything.

Hey! I like that show!
But its on at around 10pm now, so I have to tape it. (other wise Im way to tired the next day...)

Oh, this isnt a thread about the show "The Amazing Race?"

Well, sign me up anyway, Im sure I will be out quick though. :( Im not on the internet enough to check all the time.

You know, this kind of reminds me of the time I waited in line for 3 hours to get Ice Cream on a hot summer day, and when I got to the end, his guy in a uniform said. "This aint no stink'n line for ice cream Boy!" "This here is the line to sign up for the United Sates of America Army!!!"
Every one was staring at me.
Woah! My mistake! But I didnt want to feel stupid, so I acted real cool and signed up.

Well, if 5 people say nothing, then all of them are eliminated.
