Example of Scoring

Consider a contest involving three teams (A, B and C) in which three problems are posed.

Team A solves Problem Two after 60 minutes, with two judged runs, and Problem One after 120 minutes with 1 judged run. Although they submit problems for the third problem three times, they do not solve it.

Penalty Points for Team A:

Problem 1: 120 for time plus 0 for 0 extra judged runs totaling 120

Problem 2: 60 for time plus 20 for 1 extra judged run totaling 80

Problem 3: 0 (No penalty points assessed for problems not solved)

Total penalty points assessed is 200.

Team B solves Problem One after 60 minutes, with five judged runs. They do not solve the second problem. They solve the third problem after 180 minutes with 1 judged run.

Penalty Points for Team B:

Problem 1: 60 for time plus 80 for 4 extra judged runs totaling 140

Problem 2: 0

Problem 3: 180 for time plus 0 for 0 extra judged run totaling 180

Total penalty points assessed is 320.

Team C solves Problem Three after 60 minutes, with three judged runs, Problem One after 120 minutes with 3 three judged runs, and Problem Two after 180 minutes and 3 judged runs.

Penalty Points for Team C:

Problem 1: 120 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged runs totaling 160

Problem 2: 180 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged runs totaling 220

Problem 3: 60 for time plus 40 for 2 extra judged run totaling 100

Total penalty points assessed is 480.

The final results of the contest are summarized below:

Note that Team C wins because they solved the most problems. Teams A and B both solved two so the tie is broken with penalty points. Team A places second since they have fewer penalty points than Team B.
