Here is how you earn points!

On the Spot = 3 points: You get 3 points for each rank you hit on the number. For example, if you put Aaron (aka A-Hole) in position #8 and he is eliminated that week then you get three points.

Streak of Two = 3 points: You get 3 points for each “streak of two.” For example, if you say that Michael will be eliminated the week right before Siobhan (no matter what their ranks) you get 3 points.

Reverse Streak = 2 points: You get 2 points for a “reverse streak.” For example, if you say that Michael will be eliminated the week right before Siobhan (no matter what their ranks) but Siobhan is eliminated the week before Michael, you get 2 points.

Streak of Three = 5 points: You get 5 points for each “streak of three.” For example, if you say that Michael will be eliminated the week before Siobhan and following her will be Lee, you get 5 points. You already earned 3 points for your streak of two, so you don’t get them again for the two streaks of two within the streak of three (for saying that Michael would go before Siobhan and Siobhan would go before Lee. Nice try, but sorry!).

Streak of Four or Five (or more)= 10 points each. You get 10 points for each “streak of four” or “streak of five.” Streaks build, so the following could happen:

10. Contestant A
9. Contestant B 3 points, streak of two
8. Contestant C 5 points, streak of three
7. Contestant D 10 points, streak of four
6. Contestant E 10 points, streak of five

= 28 points total

(On Word, I was able to create brackets to make that easier to understand, but they don't translate into Blogger. Shoot.)

Reserve Streak of Three = 0 points: There are no “reverse streak of 3’s” (or 4’s or 5’s).

Top 3 = 10 points: If you get the top three in ANY order, you get 10 points. For example, if you say that A-Hole, Katie, and Tim (wishful thinking, kiddos!) will be in the top three and they are, you get 10 points, no matter who comes in first, second, and third.

Top 2 = 15 points: If you get the top two in ANY order, you get 15 points. For example, if you say it will come down to Lee and Casey and it does, you get 15 points, no matter who wins and who is the runner-up.

Winner = 20 points: If you call the winner you get 20 points.

Top 3 In Order = 10 points: If you get the top three IN RANK ORDER, you get an extra 10 points, on top of the 10 points you already got for getting them in any order.

Same week elimination: If two contestants are eliminated in the same week (if, for example, there is a judge’s save or some other crazy thing) then your ranking can swing either way. For example, if A-Hole and Casey are eliminated in the same week and you have A-Hole as #4 and Casey as #5 then you can swing Aaron or Casey up or down for a “streak.”

That’s it!

You are welcome to keep score along with me. In fact, you might want to just in case my math is rusty or I can’t keep track of my own convoluted rules. If it’s all too confusing, just send me your ranking and sit back and enjoy the show.

Thank you for playing!

Love, Kayla
