The Ted Marshall Open 2015-2016 |
The Ted Marshall Open is a contest to see who can guess how many T.V. shows will be canceled during the 2015-2016 season. To be eligible, a show must:
20 points are awarded for each canceled show, plus bonus points (between 1 and 10) as assigned by the contestant. Shows that are crossed out in black and have a marker have presumably been canceled. Shows that are in green and have a smiley face have received a full-season order, but still may be canceled before next season. Red text and an ambulance indicates the show was put on a hiatus or have not aired their final known episode (shows do not score until their presumed final episode has aired.) Blue text and a no symbol means the show never aired, making the entry ineligible. The large number indicates a player's score, while the smaller number in parentheses refers to the points lost by shows receiving a full-season order subtracted from the highest possible score (255), which indicates the player's highest possible point total. The tiebreaker is the actual retail price of the higher priced showcase on the January 4, 2016 episode of The Price is Right (which was 36899).
