I don't think this means more than 1 team (it says A stoneaway team)
What I'm hoping is happening is:
- They introduce the new team, they must finish in the top 3 (or avoid bottom 2/3) to win their way in the leg, if not they are eliminated instead of the last place team.
- Leg 8 is NEL
- Leg 9 is the T-Junction with 9 teams left, ( 2 teams of 4 + the first class pass team) then 8 after voting off a team.
If they added some legs to go to Tasmania, I wouldn't be surprise to see a leg with just the eliminated teams fighting to win one spot back!
