Production
Applications for the inaugural season of CZRS were opened on August 18, 2020. This season had a combination of applicants and recruitments (via Zac). __ people applied for this season, and 22 of them became official contestants. The cast was officially revealed on August 20, 2020, just hours before the first leg began.

TJ (TJ2807) was originally slated to appear as the partner of Hufus on Team Ohana, but he had to drop out before the first leg due to personal reasons. Jan was then brought in as TJ's replacement.

Format
Starting a leg: Players must start a leg at the :15, :30, :45, or :00 part of an hour sometime between 5pm EST and 8:15pm EST. They will immediately be met with their first choice Taxi or Drive yourself to the airport. Taking a taxi is a 5 minute wait, but driving yourself gives you a challenge to complete. When you complete it, then you move on. This could be advantageous if you want to get ahead, but could put you behind if you do it slowly.

Boarding Pass: After you drive yourself (challenge) or wait five minutes (taxi) you will be a sent a google forms quiz. This is your boarding pass. The bottom teams (number pre-announced each leg) will get a 5 minute penalty at the end if they take the longest to complete this. *only one player must complete the boarding pass*

Challenges:
 * Roadblock: One of the players competes a challenge. They switch off each time there is a roadblock.
 * Detour: Players complete one of two challenges. They complete it together. You can switch detours ONCE and only ONCE per leg.
 * Speed Bumps: The team that survives last place in a non-elimination round must complete an extra task.
 * Pit Stop: To arrive at the pit stop both players must check in. All Pit Stops will be on blogs. The clue will specify which area the teams are to search in, and when teams find the blog they will post a comment that is indicated in the clue.

Time Limit: All tasks will have a time limit of 15 minutes, unless otherwise noted. You will be allowed to move on after 15 minutes of receiving the clue.

Working Together/Helping: Teams are allowed to help each other but once a team leaves a challenge or checks in they are no longer allowed to help teams behind them.

Twists

 * Double Cross: This is essentially like a secret U-Turn. Before each leg, 2 teams will publicly pull the Double Cross. They will each select a different team to Double Cross. The teams selected will be informed after completing the detour that they must go back and complete the other side. Nobody will know who double crossed who until after the season is over.
