War of the Worlds 2: Rules

Lots of rule changes this year. This post explains why. See below for the new rules and scoring. Blue is scoring that changed.

DRAFT

• Eight team owners will each select four players each, in a snake style draft.
• We're playing in two four-team alliances this season: Team Odds versus Team Evens. Details about Alliances here.
• Leftovers are picked up by the team(s) that loses their first players, a week after their first contestants are eliminated. Note: No leftovers for War of the Worlds 2.

Scoring Rules
We have new scoring points. Note that we'll add in redemption points if they are still doing redemption houses.

COMPETITION Points (awarded per episode)

• Weekly (+1): Awarded for each episode a player stays on the show.
• Challenge (+2): Awarded for winning weekly challenge. If team game, each individual on the winning team receives the points.
• Tribunal (+2): Awarded to members of the tribunal, usually three people.
• Elimination (+4): Awarded for being tossed into an elimination challenge.
• Survival (+4): Awarded for winning the elimination challenge.

BONUS Points (awarded once per episode max)

• Crying (+2): A clear case of crying, has to include visible tears.
• Kissing (+2): Awarded for romantic kisses and not for congratulatory pecks.
• Sex (+4): Must be shown on-camera, or acknowledged by both parties, with no doubts.
• Medical (+4): If a player needs treatment from an on-screen medical professional, or if they go to a hospital.
• Puke (+4): Throwing up from drinking, exhaustion, food poisoning, etc. Has to be on-screen, and not just gagging from almost throwing up.
• TJ Lavin (+4): There are two parts to this rule. Either (1) Making TJ verbally express his disappointment in your behavior or performance or (2) If TJ says “you killed it” to someone. This has to be said directly to an individual so if it’s just a general TJ being disappointed, that won’t score. TJ must say your name and express either disappointment or "you killed it" specifically.
• Fight / Tirade (+6): For fights, it must be physical, with an intent to do harm. One-sided fights can be possible if there's clearly just one antagonizer. A tirade must be crazy-level, up to and including throwing or breaking things.
• Booted (+6): Getting kicked off the show by producers, be it for physical altercation, safety reasons, injuries, etc. Also applies if the person quits the show.

Finals Points (awarded once at end of season)

• Finals (+5): Awarded to everyone who makes the finals.
• Winner: (+5 or +10): Awarded to the overall winner, or to all members of the winning team if there's three or more team members. Note: So it's +5 apiece if it's a team victory, or +10 if it's an individual winner season -- or if it's a paired season, then it's still +10 for each winning player of the pair.

ARBITRATION DETAILS
Majority wins on voting for questions about scoring. Broadly speaking, we like to lean toward more scoring, especially for drama. The more points the more fun!
