Below is a repost of my original announcement
from last Friday. The deadline to enter the pre-phase
is a week from tonight, at 11:59 PM EDT. You do not
have to enter the pre-phase to enter the main contest,
but it can help you a bit.

CBS will air a
special preview of the upcoming show, featuring cast
members from the first two shows, tomorrow night at 8 PM
E/P, 7 PM C/M. Also, to get profiles on the new
contestants, go to CBS's website, at
www.cbs.com/survivor.

Please send an e-mail to KhonHoc_at_... to enter.
Thanks!

Survivor III: Africa premieres a week from tomorrow
(October 11). As I did with Survivor II, I will be running
a handicapping pool. There is no entry fee, and the
grand prize is my copy of 4th Edition Benet's Readers
Encyclopedia, which I will either mail direct or hand-deliver
at Penn Bowl 11.

This contest will feature
two phases: a pre-phase, worth up to four points, and
the main contest, worth up to 23 points, for a total
of 27 points possible. 

In the Pre-Phase, you
will select the six contestants you believe will _not_
make it to the merger. You will earn 1/2 point for
each correct selection. In addition, you will choose
which of the two tribes (Samburu or Boran) will have
more members remaining at the merger, or if they will
have an equal number. That correct trinary selection
is worth one point.

The Main Contest will run
just like last spring's contest. Once we know the ten
contestants that make the merger, you will order them from
1-10, with 10 being the first voted out, and 1 the
Ultimate Survivor. For every correct pick, you earn two
points. For every pick you are off by one, you get one
point. You earn five points (instead of two) for
correctly picking the Ultimate Survivor. Ties for the
overall contest will be broken based on selecting the
higher exact finishing contestant.

Deadline for
entry into the Pre-Phase is Wednesday, October 10 at
11:59 PM EDT. You do not have to enter the Pre-Phase to
enter the Main Contest, though you could be at up to a
four-point disadvantage. Deadline for the Main Contest will
be 11:59 PM EDT the night before the first
post-merger episode.

Please send all inquiries and
entries to KhonHoc_at_...; I will have a tracking of the
contest on my website hopefully on October 11. Good luck,
and I hope a lot of people
enter!
