- Pick who you think will be the winner (overall winner - typically worth 3 points * number of contestants)
- Assign 20 points to who you think will be eliminated each week
- Receive the points assigned to the player who is eliminated
- You can change your overall pick anytime (worth 3 points * number of remaining contestants)
- Stage 2 starts during the last week
- Assign 40 points to who you think will win
- Receive the points assigned to the winner of DWTS
- Receive overall winner points (1st, 2nd and 3rd place points are given)
- All stages (Optional)
- Answer bonus questions for additional points
- Sample bonus questions:
- Who is in the bottom 2 this week?
