This! :conf: Sears/Willis Tower, Crown Fountain, Jackson Park and Promontory Point are well over due for a visit. Plus, a firefighting task to pay homage to the media term "Chicago Fire" would make a unique finale.
Perhaps a Finish Line on Northerly Island :please:

Chicago Fire task would be <3333.
Galapagos would be very nice to see. <333

Well... not gonna post a route :funny:
I posted this in another thread, figured then it was more of a wish, so here's my idea for a huge twist for some anniversary TAR. It includes teams switching partners along the race.
This idea would overcomplicate the race, but let me lay it out. The teams coming into the race are AA, BB, CC, DD (that's 4 teams) and so on.
* Let's say they do a couple normal legs first and then we have 9 teams left.
* At the start of the third leg, before leaving the country, teams are instructed to go to *place*, where they find an HoO. The next day, after getting their clues, each team finds 2 leaflets inside their clue - one for each team member. The leaflet instructs that *name of a member in team AA* will have to pair up with *name of a member in team BB*. That way we have a new team - AB. The other leaflet for the same team would instruct to create a team AC, so that wouldn't cause teams to work in pairs (i.e. if we had teams AB and BA).
* Now when leg 3 ends, teams are instructed to keep on racing with the same partners (not their original ones) and that at the end of leg 4 their placements for both legs will be combined to eliminate a team.
* The elimination would work in such manner: though teams get placements with their switched partners, elimination would be based on original partners' placements. Say, the placements for leg 3 are: AB - 7th, AC - 8th, BD - 9th, and for leg 4: AC - 7th, BD - 8th, AB - 9th. The others have consistent placings in the top 6 for both legs. With such placings, team AA has 7 & 8, 7 & 9. Team BB has 7 & 9, 8 & 9. The average of team BB is higher, therefore, they are eliminated.
* Then the remaining 8 teams could return to their original partners and race a couple more legs together. At the start of leg 7, when we have 6 teams left, they could be rotated again to have new partners they didn't have before. Again, leg 7 is a KOR and at the end of leg 8 a team is eliminated (original, not switched partners).
* Then have leg 9 a NEL and get down to final 4 at the end of the 10th leg. Again, both with original partners.
* For the penultimate 11th leg the teams are rotated for the last time and at the end of this leg another team is eliminated and we have our final 3. If team EE have a 1st and a 4th with their switched partners, while team FF has a 2nd and a 3rd (that makes both teams' averages equal at 2.5), team EE would be eliminated because they possess the lowest possible placing - 4th.
* OR they could use the same tiebreaker (which I haven't mentioned yet) as with those KOR legs: if 2 teams have equal averages, we sum up the amount of time they arrived after the 1st team. If that still creates a tie (unlikely), we could add the amount of time the teams were behind the 1st team with their original partners. Furthermore, add the times with other switched partners.
* OR they could use the same tiebreaker (which I haven't mentioned yet) as with those KOR legs: if 2 teams have equal averages, we look at their averages with original partners. If there's still a tie, we include the averages with other switched partners.
These tiebreakers could be mixed up to avoid a consistant tie. If nothing can be done to solve the tie (rather impossible, but probably possible), then the leg becomes a NEL.
