The Pass board is where a team can force a team to wait until another team passes them before they can continue racing.

It was first introduced on The Amazing Race Canada 8 with the Double variant applied to it.

Usage[]

Like the Yield, U-Turn, and One Way, upon arriving at a Pass board, teams must stop at the board and state aloud whether or not they choose to use the Pass on any of the teams (if there are available slots), or the results of a Pass (If the Pass was used). If a team chooses to utilize a Pass, they must place a photo of the team they wish to penalize, their own photo (called a 'Courtesy of' photo). This is located in the box of the Pass board. Once Passed, the team must wait until another team arrives at the Pass location and departs before they can continue racing.

Teams are not aware of their positions, as such, its possible for a team to use the Pass on another team ahead of the Pass point, in which case the Pass will be rendered ineffective.

It is currently unknown how a Pass interacts with a team currently in last place.

It is currently unknown that a Pass will be appeared in the other versions including the American version.

Pass Types[]

Double Pass[]

The Pass was introduced as a Double Pass. A Double Pass allows two separate teams to Pass two other teams. Furthermore, if a team is Passed, they are permitted use the second slot (if available) of a Pass against another team.

It is currently unknown what would happen if one Passed Team arrives at the Pass board whilst another Passed team is awaiting another team.
