Anyways, back on topic. Do some sport routes only have bolts or chains on the top without biners already there? If so do you throw way two biners on each route? Where I climb there are two biners attached to the chains so you don't leave any gear up. This way we only need 1 bail biner incase one is damaged or missing

Dude, how many times do you have to have things explained to you??? If there aren't fixed biners at the top, the answer is clear:

Hold on really tight to the anchor, untie, and learn to retie in with one hand and teeth.

Although really you should practice at home before you do this outside, just to be safe. Also, if other climbers are too weak to do this and have left biners on the route, those are booty and you can steal them if you are strong enough to thread the rope in the proper manner.
