Introduced in Season 10, a team was Marked for Elimination if they were the last to arrive at the Pit Stop during a Non-Elimination Leg. If they did not arrive at the pit stop first during the following leg, they would incur an immediate 30-minute penalty at the Pit Stop, allowing other teams to check in before them during that time. This was discontinued in Season 12 and replaced by the Speed Bump. It was still used in some international versions of the show. In the second season of the second Israeli version, the Marked for Elimination penalty was increased to one hour.
