Tropical Adventure Competition Rules

The competition starts on the first day of the first broadcast and ends on the last day of the last broadcast.

100% of nonprofit donations go to the nonprofit you donate to

The “For Profit” Competition is won by the Coach which earned the most for their Hero. Teams are ranked by what the Coach earned. The top 10 teams go onto season 2. The remaining 20 teams continue to compete after the last broadcast day until the next seasons deadline. The top 10 of those 20 go on to season 2. The bottom 10 are replaced by the next 10 teams chosen by “Next in Line.”
In “For Profit” competitions a minimum of 2/3 of the gross goes to the Coach. After the Coaches share is taken out the for profit gross is split 50% Dolphin Rodeo and 50% between each team. The teams next cover all the taxes and expenses for the Coach. The remainder is split by 30 minutes. Each block is paid per minute according to the “Task” list. The people who submit winning blocks, are squad leaders that decide on their own budget for that block.

  • Producer (also the Bootymaster for the team. They can assign an Assistant Bootymaster for their duties of managing the loonies.)
    • The Bootymaster has the booty.  The only duty that the Bootymaster must do is give Booty to the Coach in the form of a giant symbolic check of 100,000 loonies. This represents that the hosting nonprofit received at least $25,000 in donations and qualifies them. The Producer can create and assign as many positions as she wants so that she doesn’t have to do anything else.  The Coach can do anything but they are 100% in charge of the Hero. The Bootymaster always wants bigger booty and has many different ways to make her booty bigger.  The biggest booty wins the booty contest. (Beauty contest gone wrong with obviously bribed judges) Bootymasters may create any type of rule, condition or consequence and change that at any time. The Bootymaster has ultimate power without restriction since this is a game and rules only apply if she can convince people to follow them.
