This is how the American Idol Pool works:
We now have the top 24 contestants! One of these people is your next American Idol!
On Tuesday and Wednesday (Feb 19 & 20), the 12 guys and 12 girls sing - each show is 2 hours. On Thursday, 2 guys and 2 girls are eliminated. We're down to 20 contestants.
The week after that (2/26, 2/27, and 2/28), the remaining 10 guys and 10 girls sing (each show is 90 minutes), and 2 more guys and girls are eliminated. Then we'll be down to 16 contestants.
The week after that is a big week for you. That Tuesday and Wednesday, March 4 & 5, the remaining 8 guys and 8 girls will sing (each show is an hour). That Thursday night, March 6, 2 guys and 2 girls will be eliminated, and we'll be down to the 12 finalists. After American Idol gets to 12 participants, they only eliminate one person per week going forward.
Now, before that Thursday night 3/6 show (where the field of 16 becomes 12), you MUST email your top 12 picks to Debbie, the American Idol Intern at idolpool@gmail.com.....you MUST email those picks by 3 PM EST.
Your top 12 picks must be ordered from #1 to #12. #1 is your American Idol. #2 is your runner-up. #12 is the person who you think is going out first (after the field of 12 is announced). That's all you need to do.....simply email Debbie your top 12 out of the field of 16 by 3PM EST on Thursday, 3/6.
For every person in your top 12 that you have right when the top 12 are announced, you get one point (meaning that the most points you can get for the week is 12).
The next week, one person from the top 12 will be eliminated. Your personal sheet says that you believe person #12 will be eliminated first. Therefore, after America votes someone off, you will get 2 points for every person in your top 11 that is still in the show (meaning the most points you can get for the week is 22).
And we just keep on repeating.
In Week 3, every person that's still alive that you have in your top 10 will get you 3 points.
In Week 4, every person in your top 9 will get you 4 points.
Etc., etc., etc. until we get to the point that having the American Idol correct will get you 12 points.
The person with the most points at the end of American Idol wins the pool!!!!
Tiebreakers:
If there is a tie in the final standings, the tiebreaker is the same as last year - when looking at a score sheet, the person who had called the most recent elimination correctly will win the tiebreaker.
So, if two people are tied at the end of the season, and person #1 correctly guessed the contestant who went out in Week 6, and person #2 correctly named the contestant who went out in Week 3, then person #1 hold the tiebreaker. Make sense?
