HOW IT WORKS[ol]
You get points based on what they accomplish / don't accomplish through the tribe and then individual parts of the game. Points are tabulated each week and the standings updated. I made up a **** ton of categories to try to make it as fun, silly, and engaging as possible. The people you pick at the beginning that make the merge get a 0.5-point bonus on their achievements during the individual part of the game. So if it's 5 points for winning an Individual Immunity Challenge, you'd get 5.5. If you have people voted out before the merge, you can redraft from the remaining players after the merge. But they don't get the 0.5-point bonus.[/ol]
