Been There! Bonus - Times Square, New York

Week 1 is in the books and the producers take this season's Silver Anniversary and make something special of it. The starting place mimics that of the very first Amazing Race!

One of the ways you as a Pool Player can earn more points is if you've been to a place that the teams are at. SO - if you've been to Times Square, or New York and can prove it to me (photos, receipts, plane tickets, phone call from a family member, etc) you'll earn yourself some points.

A couple of the current pool players have spent some time in New York:
The Lightning Pandas

grizzlyadam and astropopgirl (so long ago!!)

Been There! Bonus points are live until the finale, when I no longer track points. So if it's gonna take you awhile to dig around for something, you have some time.

Let's see more bonus points!

Pool Players

Lots of teams this year!
The 50 bonus to you and any new person you bring to the pool seems to have worked well. This bonus will stand until Friday at 5pm, so if you've got someone on the fence, bug them to join.
