How to Play SYTYCD Pools
- So You Think You Can Dance pools are played in two stages
- Stage 1 starts when the top 10 are announced
- Pick who you think will be the winner (overall winner - typically worth 4 points * number of contestants, so maximum of 40 points if correctly chosen at the start of the show)
- Assign 20 points to the people you think will be eliminated each week
- Receive the points assigned to the players who are eliminated
- You can change your overall pick anytime (worth 4 points * number of remaining contestants, max 40 points)
- Stage 2 starts during the last week - when there are 2 or 3 contestants left
- Assign 40 points to who you think will WIN
- Receive the points assigned to the winner of SYTYCD
- Receive overall winner points (1st, 2nd and 3rd place points are given - full points for first, half points for second and one quarter the points for third)
- All stages (Optional)
- Answer bonus questions for additional points
- Sample bonus questions:
- Does a male or female person find out they are eliminated first?
- Who is the first to find out they are safe?
- Most points wins!
- Total score = points won each week + bonus points + overall winner points
