The Amazing Race: Marker-by-Marker Spreadsheet
G.B.:
I don't think it's necessary to list the Roadblock performers, since on all normal legs, we will colour in the name of who did the Roadblock in bold on the far right.
This doesn't really work in this table, I know, but I've been planning to go back and fix legs with multiple Roadblocks by Bolding whoever did the first Roadblock, and Underlining who did the second one.
Remember that, on a Wiki, it's usually preferred to have really simple tables with extensive "Legends" below them. Usually we want to throw out the information easily and quickly to anyone who wants to read :P
But also, the teams aren't in order anymore. Just like the overall leg placements table, the contestants should be ordered in the order they are "at the end of the day" (Which would be their Pit Stop placements)

The table does look better shorter and without the Roadblock names :-[
However, I do think it's better if the teams are arranged at the start instead of at the end, since it better shows how each team have risen or fallen by the end of the leg.
Also, how about the Detour? I'm assuming the detour choices and detour switching won't be included in the table anymore?
G.B.:
I haven't reached this point yet, but the pages for each team are going to include synopses of their progression through each leg, and Detour switches will be covered there.
It's, of course, most important to note which Detour they /did/ complete. I think that if you want to show this in the marker leaderboard, then utilizing "A" or "B" next to the team's placement to indicate which Detour they did is a good idea (Detours were originally known by 'Choice A' and 'Choice B', and are still known as Options A and B in the Latin America race)
Then you can also add something like "A blue team placement indicates the team switched Detours at least once" or something similar.

Here's my take on TAR21 L09:
http://realityfanwiki.com/index.php?title=The_Amazing_Race_21_Leg_9#Results
The leg has a Detour, a Roadblock, a Fast Forward, and a U-Turn. Thoughts?
G.B.:
It's good except for two things:
First, if there is no change in placement between getting the clue at a Roadblock/Detour, and completion of that Roadblock/Detour, then there only needs to be one column, otherwise it's superfluous.
And again I think I should bring up the order. Having them ordered in terms of finish instead of in terms of start will still show teams that got ahead and teams that fell behind, and it's sort of a general thing to have the last place team be at the bottom. Does anyone else have any input on this?
Oh, and you do need to use the different symbols for the second U-Turn. This is for the benefit of colour-blind people.
