Rules and Scoring: Rivals II

Last season we got the rules down pretty smooth: clarifying the bonus awarded for finals, firming up crying points, adding sex points, and also bonuses for getting involuntarily leaving the show. Barring any rule changes, everything should about the same save for format. We'll assume it'll be like the original Rivals season so we'll use those rules for now.


DRAFT

• Six team owners will each select five 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 two 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
Format should be the same as for Rivals I, excepting whatever the themed elimination will be called this year.

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 Elimination
+1 point for winning the Elimination

Bonus Points (awarded per episode)
+2 point for kissing (romantic, carnal, or via dare, not for congratulatory or "hello" pecks)
+2 point for sex (must be shown on-camera, or acknowledged by both parties, with no doubt)
+1 bonus point if you own both contestants who hooked up
+2 points for getting into a physical fight
+2 points for "crazy ass tirade," including throwing or breaking things
+2 points for going to the hospital, or being treated by a medical professional
+2 points for throwing up, from drinking, exhaustion, food poisoning, etc. Throwing up should be on camera, not just gagging sounds
+2 points for crying, must be a very clear case of crying, not just red face, puffy eyes, watery eyes, but actual tears
+3 points for getting booted off the show, be it physical altercation, safety reasons (injuries), etc. Does not apply if the person chooses to leave the show
+1 points for having a body part blurcled (only awarded once per episode, and for nudity versus logo blocking out, or flicking someone off, etc.)
+1 point for reading the clue

Finals Points
+5 for making the finals (awarded to everyone who makes the finals)
+7 for being the overall winner (awarded only to members of the final team)

Any subjective calls will be cleared up by arguing and then voting. Below were the details laid out 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 of hooking up (but not for each instance of crying). 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.
• A three way kiss only awards +2 to each participant (not +4 each).
• 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!
