The Amazing Race 4 will have players answering clues I give them through PMs. Each leg of the race will consist of 4 or more clues, the last being a pitstop. The last person to check into the pitstop on most legs will be eliminated from the game. If you get a clue correct, you will recieve your next clue. If you get it wrong, you must try again. The four types of clues are:

Start Task: This is the clue you will recieve to start off each leg. It could be anything. The start task will also usually give you the chance to use the a Fast Forward. Answering a Fast Forward correctly immediately takes the player to the pitstop (You must still answer the pitstop question). Each player can only use the fast forward once on the entire race, so you may want to wait until it's most advantageous to use it.

Detour: In a detour, players get to pick between two different tasks. They must complete one of the tasks in order to receive their next clue. If a player cannot complete one task, he may switch and attempt to complete the other one. The Detours will also contain the option to Yeild someone. Players can Yeild anyone behind them, and those yeilded must answer an extra clue in order to proceed. Players may only use the yeild once during the race, so use it wisely.

Roadblock: In a roadblock, players will complete a task or answer a question in order to recieve their next clue. Basically, just another clue for you to answer.

Pitstop: This will be your final clue in each Leg. Once you complete the task correctly, you will be checked into the pitstop.

Clue may be questions acout the actual Race, the area your are visiting, other questions, or even puzzles and other tasks.

Time is of the essence, because in most legs, you will start the next leg according to when you finished the last one. Pitstops will begin in increments of 12 hours (I.E. if you finish at 7:45 pm, you could start the next day at 7:45 am, or 7:45 pm, etc.). There will be up to five bunch up legs throughout the leg. In a bunch up leg, everyone starts at the same time. This causes those in front to lose their lead, but gives those behind a chance to catch up (Hey, they have these often in the real race. Also, there will be three Non-elimination Legs scattered through the race. In these legs, whoever arrives last will not be eliminated, but will recieve a time penalty for the next leg, causing them to start far behind.
