Hey folks, It's been a while since we've had one of these, but alas, it's finally time for another new season of Wheel, and thus, a new announcement thread. A new season brings a fresh start, and an opportunity to grow upon and improve the previous year. First, as you may have noticed, after two years, we finally have a new theme for the new season! Once again, a huge THANK YOU goes out to the wonderful MarioGS who created this theme from scratch; your work never ceases to amaze me, dude. As always, every previous theme is available to select from if you're not a fan of this one... and if you like the previous banner before the Alex tribute, it has been restored to the Season 35 theme. As for the show itself, this season sees the introduction of the new Triple Tossup, along with the final contributions of Harry Friedman, who is retiring at the end of the season. Additionally, you may see a few familiar faces on the show this season... Finally, as many of you are probably aware, our current post ranks are seven years out of date. We've been meaning to redo them for a while now, but haven't decided on a new ranking scheme... anyone with any ideas, feel free to PM me. Here's to a great season!

Additionally, you may see a few familiar faces on the show this season... I was on Wheel's website this morning, and the Triple Tossup consists of three straight toss-up puzzles just before Round 4, and each puzzle will be work $2K each. I also read somewhere that the person who solves the third puzzle starts that round; that was from August, and I believe it was from someone who attended a taping.

I have to say, without any spoilers, I like the concept of the Triple Toss-Up. It moves quickly and offers up a little more money for the contestants. A positive addition.

Ooh I like the new theme! It's basically the same theme used since January 2017, just that an electric guitar track was added to it. The closing theme I don't think has added guitar riffs.

^ He means the new visual theme of this site, not Wheel's theme music.

We've been meaning to redo them for a while now, but haven't decided on a new ranking scheme... anyone with any ideas, feel free to PM me. I can't think of too much for a scheme right now, though I do think the user names for "Made it and Played it" BAV members could be more of a "royalty" color.
