Welcome to Twilight Zone Cafe's first Astonishing Race.
This format is very similar to an Amazing or Astounding Race, including the following rules:
1. Only one turn per person per day (Eastern Time).
2. Minimum of 12 hours between turns for the same person.
We'll start with 40 episodes - namely, SyFy's recent New Year's Eve Marathon Top 40. (See this post for full results.)
For 24 rounds, the game will proceed as follows:Round 1 will begin with a List containing all 40 episodes, an empty Pit Stop section, and an empty Eliminated section. On each turn, remove an episode you like from the List, and put it in the Pit Stop. Once you have saved a previously unsaved episode, you may not change your decision. When there is only one episode left in the List, that episode will be Eliminated. Then the episodes in the Pit Stop will form a new List for the next round. After 24 episodes have been Eliminated by this process, the 16 survivors will enter head-to-head competition against each other, with the winner of each match-up being determined by members' votes. This will leave 8 survivors. Further rounds will leave 4 survivors, then 2, then 1. Full details will follow at the appropriate time. Members' input is welcome!
