There are only three players who have won a round on 6 of 7 rounds. Welp at least I can steal one of those 6 rounds, not sure and believe that.  :funny:

Hi finalists! :waves:

I just want to state this now before it's too late. For your race course, we really meant it about the "you can start and finish anywhere in the world" part, because we don't want you guys to limit yourself with something that we didn't say that you're not allowed to.

You are allowed to do a different version/franchise of TAR's route, so you're not restricted to do the US-version of TAR. Also, you may design in any country you wish. :tup:

Good luck!

Just bump this here in case you guys missed this.

Can we still keep our final task? Or is that frowned upon.

Same concept is fine... it won't be in the same location so it'll be a little different though.

Good luck to our final four! Mike and Lemontail, sad to see you bow out. Both of you should put in a job application to WRP. :)

If wrp is watching (doubt it cause this is hidden from spectators) dm me!

Who's going to be the Tim Gunn who makes hometown visits to check in on the finalists and give sage advice?

To confirm, the first deadline, we just need the race course? Like we don't need the tasks yet?

For the first deadline, you should have your countries and cities lined out, but you don't need all the leg info + tasks in yet.

Attention designers:

In terms of the round requirement of "One of your legs must be held in Phil Keoghan's top destinations" (found in this post), your leg themed around that destination must be, essentially, an entire leg. Having a starting line at one of the locations and then leaving for another country does not qualify, even if you have your Starting Line task there. The leg meeting this requirement can be any leg, including the main destination of Leg 1 or the finale.

If you have any questions or clarifications about this requirement, go ahead and ask. :)

I'll make the countdown after the first deadline. But for now, I believe we haven't received the wiki link from Bookworm and nrh2110. :tup:

The deadline for the first checkpoint passed a few hours ago. All of you have your wikis updated to that point.

The deadline for the next checkpoint is one week from now.

Are we allowed to change our finale leg after next week? The deadlines confuse me!

Well, you need to have your finale leg sent to the judges in 14 days from now, so you could change it up until that point. Then, that finale leg should be in your wiki.

Does the Final Leg have to be complete one week from today as part of the completed wiki?

You should have your final leg in the wiki by that time. However, you are allowed to make changes if you see fit - the presentation of the final leg you send to us doesn't have to be the exact same as what's in your wiki one week from today. (If you were to make those changes, then you should update the your wiki to reflect them.)

Does anyone know why some of the previous finalists designs have gone missing on wiki? I loved reading through them.

Attention, finalists!

Because there's some confusion regarding the deadline scheme, we decided to simplify the deadline into just one date, which is the final deadline in just less than two weeks from now. So in that time, you must have your final route and your final leg design done.

If you want to, though, you can just keep the old deadline as your own "checkpoint", so that you have a better time management to create your best route. :tup:

Here's the countdown for the final deadline. You can always look at the countdown here: https://bit.ly/3mMz2Lf



Thank you and we wish you the best of luck! :luvya:

Wikia had a purge and took them down, tragically. It's also beyond the control of the owners, I can't even see my winning route anymore  :groan:

There goes all that work from years and years ago lol.

Are we going to be providing notes for each of the legs, or only the finale leg?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'notes'? Thanks :)

Like we've been doing in the previous rounds, the Designer Notes, where we explain each task's detail and show logistics such as maps, etc.
