Rules and Scoring: Rivals Jungle

Draft

  • Six team owners will each select four players each, in a snake style draft.
  • If any contestant shows up midway through the game, they are given to the team that loses all of their players first. Retroactive points do not count however, only once they appear on the team do their scores start tabulating.
  • There will be four players left over and they will be available for selection by the team(s) that get all their players eliminated first. So if all your players are out by WK5, you get to select one of the originally undrafted players for the remainder of the season.
Scoring and Points
The rules will mostly be similar to last year but we're upping drama points and adding a few more categories. As we don't know the exact rules Rivals: Jungle will be using, we might tweak some things after the first episode.

Competition Points (awarded per episode)
+1 point for each week your person stays on the show
+1 point for winning the weekly Challenge (each individual on the winning team gets this)
+1 point for being sent into the Jungle
+1 point for winning the Jungle

Bonus Points (awarded per episode)
+2 point for hooking up (kissing on the lips, making out, groaning sounds under covers, etc.)
+1 bonus point if you own both contestants who hooked up
+2 points for getting into a physical fight
+1 point for physically fighting with their Rival
+2 points for "crazy (ass tirade)"
+2 points for going to the hospital
+2 points for throwing up
+2 points for crying

Finals Points
+5 for making the finals
+7 for being the winner

Any subjective calls will be cleared up by arguing and then voting. We can also reference some of the points laid out last year to clarify things. Although maybe it would be nice to wipe the slate clean and start from "What qualifies as a crazy ass tirade in the Jungle?" Below were the details laid out last year for some of the subjective rules:
  • It has to be shown or be provable on camera, then from there we can vote/argue about if something constituted a hook up.
  • No "extras" or "behind-the-scenes" specials or aftershows or "web clips" don't count.
  • You are awarded one bonus point for each instance. If Veronica hooks up with Cyrus and MJ during the episode, that's +2. However, if she hooks up with Cyrus over and over that episode, that's just +1. If they hook up again next episode though, then they can get more points.
  • Hook ups aren't just kissing, or a congratulatory peck. There should be some level of lust and passion, some measure of potential hookupability. Example, Laurel and Pete's Truth or Dare kiss in Meet the Meat counts as a hook up.
  • Examples of a crazy ass tirade was Eve going bananas and knocking things around the house after getting sent in against Kelly Anne, or Katie going nuts after the plunger incident in her bed.
  • Physical fights, do they include wrestling? I say yes, like if two people engage in an attempt to do physical harm, even if it's not actually punching/kicking, that's a point.
Arbitration Details
Majority wins the vote-offs (which must be done before the next episode). If there are five owners voting, that should be easy. However, if two separate owners have to abstain because it's their contestants involved, then it's four voters. Ideally a 3-1 majority would take it but if there is a tie, then no points are rewarded. Try to be objective if you can, when voting. And we can cite previous precedent or whatever in our arguments. No bribing though!

I'm running my own league on this and there have been some disputes regarding pts. Would Ty be considered in the "fight" and rewarded pts for getting punched by Adam? Also, do you consider Jenn tearing up upon TJ return and Mandi tearing up after getting knocked down "crying" or do there need to be flush tears?

I think we're giving Ty the fighting points but I personally feel like he did nothing. But we like the effort so thus want to give him some points.

And since Bill Simmons' league said Jenn cried, I'm with it. TJ's comeback was emotional so I say points all around! Where is your league?!

Have a league of 7 of us set up on a google doc spreadsheet. We incorporated some of simmons categories so we just gave ty "Request to be assaulted" pts but not "fighting" pts... in the end it evens out. Thanks for the input.
