The Amazing Race Fantasy League

Each week, you’ll draft a lineup of Teams you think will outpace the competition. Depending on the game type, that could mean avoiding elimination at the Pit Stop or racking up points for things like winning legs, completing challenges, and navigating partner dynamics efficiently. You can play across multiple game types during the season for more ways to climb league Leaderboards.

Picks for all The Amazing Race fantasy games lock each week when the episode starts on the East Coast. Once picks are locked, your roster is set for the week, so make sure you’ve got the right Teams in your lineup ready to compete.

You can switch up your roster for the Advanced, Confidence Pool, and Week to Week game types before picks lock each week. Lineups reset for every episode, so you can adapt as alliances shift, navigation skills are tested, and standings change. First Impression bracket locking time is different, with picks locking at a designated time and staying locked for the remainder of the season. Make sure you have push notifications turned on so you never miss your shot to update your lineups.

Definitely. You can create a public or private league, customize it with your own name and icon, choose your game type(s), and invite friends to join. Everyone in your league will use the same scoring system, and you’ll have your own league Leaderboard to see who’s the true fantasy champion amongst your group. There’s no cap on league sizes, so the more the merrier! Leagues are also automatically reactivated each season, so you don’t need to re-invite your league members each year.

Yes! You can jump in anytime by downloading the Bracketology app, creating an account, and adding The Amazing Race to your shows. You’ll be added to the sitewide Bracketology Official League automatically, and you can also join or create leagues at any point during the season.

Once a Team is eliminated or removed from the competition, they can’t earn points anymore. If you already made picks for upcoming weeks and there’s time before the next lineup locks, swap them out by using the pencil icon to edit your lineup and keep your roster competitive.

Yes! Season-long The Amazing Race fantasy leagues are completely free to join and play. You can also enter optional daily Bracketology Pools for a shot at real money cash prizes.

Scores are updated within 24 hours after each new episode airs. Check your team’s performance in the Picks tab, view your league Leaderboard, or open the full Scoring Recap in the mobile or web app.

If you don’t make The Amazing Race fantasy picks in time, you might not be completely out of luck. Each league Commissioner has a tool to unlock picks for episodes/eliminations to allow for late or unsaved picks. The Commissioner should click the dropdown arrow on their lineup within the league, and click “Open Picks.” This will allow for all picks for that specific episode/elimination to be edited. Reach out to your Commissioner if you were unable to make picks; but beware, not all Commissioners will allow for lineups to be changed after picks lock each week. Once picks are opened and closed by a Commissioner, new scores will be updated at the next score publishing, generally after the following episode.

Coins are a fun, non-redeemable social currency you can use to climb the Bracketology Lifetime Coins Earned (LCE) Leaderboard. Coins can be earned by setting fantasy lineups, inviting friends to join a league, referring new users to Bracketology, claiming your Daily Login Reward, and by winning Pools.

The most fun way to use Coins is to enter them in free-to-play daily fantasy Pools. From your Pools tab, you can browse all of the active contests, answer prediction Pool questions, and win additional Coins for placing in the Top 25% of point scorers. Remember, if you enter a Pool with Coins, you are only eligible to win Coins. Coins are not redeemable for anything and are only used for social play. Enter Pools with Bucks to be eligible to win real cash prizes.

Yes! When you choose to enter a Pool using Bucks instead of Coins, your entry fee will contribute to the Prize Pot for that specific Pool. Once the multiple-choice contests are scored, top scorers will split the pot and Bucks will be automatically added to winners’ Wallets. The Bucks you win can be redeemed for real cash prizes. Full contest rules and prize info is available here in our Sweepstakes Policy.

Not exactly. Bracketology doesn’t offer betting on The Amazing Race, but your prediction skills can still pay off. Enter daily fantasy Pools with Bucks, climb Pool Leaderboards by earning points for correct answers, and redeem your Bucks winnings for real cash prizes.
