The "Real" Rules
These are rules of the racers. Not official rules by any stretch, but instead, things they should do, could do, shouldn't do, and wouldn't do. Feel free to add more!
1) Other Teams - Feel free to make friends with them, interact with them, and be generally polite when not racing. But please remember DO NOT TRUST THEM. They are not your "alliance" by any stretch of the imagination, instead they are simply waiting for you to drag them along while you do the work and then jump at the first opportunity to screw you over.
2) Emotions - Please, let's all remember this is a race. Any insult or pass on the road is usually not personal, but instead, is said in the heat of the competition and should not be taken seriously. Try to forget it and move on, there may be a point when you need them later.
3) Partners - Respect them. Treat them with respect, as you all know this is a highly stressful situation, bringing out the best in some people and the worst in others. You need them and they need you, so shouting at them is not the best way to tell them you appreciate them for the hard work they are doing for your team. It also reflects badly on you as a person to take out your frustrations on the one person you really, really need on your side.
4) Read all clues - Re-read them if necessary. If you don't know what you are doing follow another team. Follow what they tell you to do. If it says take a train to the station on West Street and the fastest train goes to East Street right across wait for the next train to West Street. You can be and will be penalized.
5) Roadblocks- Think about it people...read it for a second, and guess what might be happening. AND CHOOSE THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB!! If its a meat eating roadblock, you don't go picking a vegetarian to do it. And if it says "Who's ready to eat for their clue" you don't go thinking you are gonna jump off a 244m building...
6) Detours - Scary but Quick vs. Peaceful while Slow. It is only common sense to take the quick one because hey, you signed up for the race knowing full well you were going to have to face some fears if you want to win.
7) Appreciate the Trip - This may be your only opportunity to see the world, and don't waste it saying how much you'd like to be at home on the recliner. Insulting host countries is not the best way to be popular or endearing. Respect everyone around you and your surroundings.
8) HAVE FUN WITH IT! Realize that it is just a game, but it gives you the chance to experience the world!
9)Stressing out - This is a rule that all racers break at certain times. Stressing out will not help you get to the pit stop or the clue locations, stressing out will only make things worse.
10) Keep up with your Race Pack! - Losing your passports, money and clues will cause you serious problems. Put your clues into your fanny pack until you get a new one.
11)Before you go on the Race:
13) Respect karma - Treat others as you would have them treat you. If you treat others badly, it will come back and get back at you. Karma's a bitch and we all know that.
14) Use of profane, offensive, threatening, or intimidating language during taping towards another team, player, the host, producers, or any other production staff member for any reason can & probably will result in a race misconduct/suspension.
15) Fighting with or provoking another player, team, host, producers or production staff to engage in such will be subject to suspension. Any player or team who under any circumstances commits an assault on producers, the host, other teams, or players may be subject to, amongst other things, suspension, and/or detainment by foreign law enforcement officials, thereby resulting in extradition back to the U.S. by FBI officials, and any law enforcement officer from that individual's hometown can & will incarcerate the individual until that player stands trial to face such charges brought against him/her by another player, team, producers or host.
16) Destruction of producer's/host's property, or team's/player's baggage (including backpacks), stealing/swapping another player's/team's cash, credit cards, clue envelopes, Fast Forwards cannot & will not be tolerated! If a player/team violates this rule, that team may be expelled/escorted from the show automatically and a race misconduct!
17) NO GUNS, KNIVES, OR OTHER DEADLY WEAPONS! The producers preserve the sole right to search all luggage and/or backpacks for anything suspiciously illegal. Teams & players may be disqualified or possibly apprehended by law enforcement officers to be incarcerated & charged with possession of firearms or attempted murder!
1) Other Teams - Feel free to make friends with them, interact with them, and be generally polite when not racing. But please remember DO NOT TRUST THEM. They are not your "alliance" by any stretch of the imagination, instead they are simply waiting for you to drag them along while you do the work and then jump at the first opportunity to screw you over.

11)Before you go on the Race:
- Learn how to drive a stick shift car
- Watch the show. Duh. (So many contestants act like they have never seen it!)
- Understand that in the first legs all you have to do is not be last. Don't expend all your energy getting to the airport first in the first five minutes of the Race.
- Stop saying you are going to depend on your good looks to win the race. Sweetie, you are going to look like hell half way through the first leg, and for the rest of the Race!
- Stop saying you are going to flirt your way to the top. You are not good-looking enough for that to work. No, really. You're not.
- Learn to read a map.
13) Respect karma - Treat others as you would have them treat you. If you treat others badly, it will come back and get back at you. Karma's a bitch and we all know that.

I was wondering how old you have to be to be on the Amazing Race. My mother and I want to participate together but we need to know if I am old enough, or when I will be.
