Rules of the Race
(Click EasyEdit to fill in details on the rules)
Other Rules
Pit Stops:
Teams check into a location at the end of a leg or a race called a pit stop where they can eat, sleep, and mingle with the other teams. Once teams check in they have a limited amount of time, usually 12 hours, to rest before the next leg of the race. There have been exceptions to this in previous seasons, due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.
Money:
Teams have been given money at the start of each leg of the race. The range of money can go from 0 to more than $100 U.S.
Booking Flights:
Teams are given a credit card before the race to buy tickets to their next destination. They must purchase economy tickets; however, they may be freely upgraded to business class if allowed by the airline.
The Mat (at the Pit Stop):
The Mat is the sign of the pit stop for each leg of the race with a picture of the world along with red, yellow, and black stripes.
Non-Elimination Penalty:
From Season 1 to 4, there is no penalty when teams are saved by a Non-Elimination Leg. From Season 5 to 9, the penalty for non-elimination is that they have to give up all their money they have accumulated throughout the Race and will receive no money on the following Leg. However, from Seasons 7 to 9, teams were also stripped of all of their money and they have to give up all their possession (E.g. Bagpack). From season 12, the penalty is a Speed Bump, an extra task that only they have to complete on the following Leg.

shouldn't there be an explanation of the rules if the other teams accidentally take or steal a car with their bags and stuff. Like not the takies and stuff but the cars that are provided.

I can't understand why teams get penalized for selling their stuff? How does it put other teams at an unfair advantage? Sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures.
