I think it'll be similar to the Amazing Race's format to be honest, where teams are eliminated until three are left (all finales have had three teams in the Amazing Race, except season 25 where there were four, but there was a midpoint elimination) meaning there will be one finale leg (which may possibly run over two episodes like early Race finales), 15 elimination legs, and 8-10 non-elimination legs (depending if the premiere/finale run over two episodes). I also doubt there being a double elimination given the fact this has only occurred twice in the Amazing Race's history. Season 10 of the Race had a double elimination in Leg 1, but one was a midpoint elimination and the second occurred at the pit stop. The second occurred in Leg 2 of season 19 (Leg 1 was non-elimination), where two teams were eliminated at the pit stop rather than one.
