Hazard

Would totally be worth it if it was set up so that PT was actually faster (which, in Taipei, is a distinct possibility).

Just another variation, maybe the when the team receives that long way run clue. The team will have another route info instead. That will tell them to go to another place to get their real clue.
Dom:
Phil says: ' It's something that is announced at the very beginning, but it has a rolling effect going forward through the rest of the Race.'
It could still be my earlier suggestion, and they could have a 'Long Way Round' on every leg, but this would be expensive and could leave many specially printed clues redundant if the team gets eliminated. So this is unlikely to be the Hazard.
My new guess is this: For the team with the Hazard penalty, every pit stop they reach, they must then wait until one more team checks in before checking in behind them. This means that if they come in second to last, they will be eliminated. They can rid themselves of the Hazard by winning a leg, much the same as the 'Marked for Elimination' penalty.
Prophet:
That's an interesting assessment, Dom. I tend to believe it. :tup:
Only problem is Phil said it was something that they teams had to do in the first leg.

Unless I missed something, I wonder what the difference is, between the Hazard and Speed Bump? They seem to be basically the same thing, an extra task that only one team has to do.
Prophet:
I know, I didn't want to Hazard to be the same as the Speed Bump, but it really was. :(
