Is the point scaling for finishers linear from first finisher to last finisher, indeoendently of timing, and does it depend on whether the team is an A team or B team?

For example, if there are 4 finshers, would the bonus points be 300, 225, 150, 75?

For example, if the finishers were

1st A Team
2nd A Team
1st B Team
3rd A Team

Then would this be treated as 4 finishers, or 3 "official" finishers? If it's the latter, would the bonus points be

1st A Team 300
2nd A Team 200
1st B Team 100 (ie the points they would have got if they were an official team)
3rd A Team 100

Could you share pictures of the raised adhesive tape, bindis and hard rhinestone stickers?
Also, how thick are bindis and hard rhinestone stickers?
We will have some mock ups of this available during the Q&A. Hope that helps.

- Yes, the point scaling is linear, independent of timing.
- The bonus points will be normalised based on Team A's submission. If B/C team(s) submits before time, they will get the average bonus of the two A teams who submitted before and after them. In the example above, the B/C team(s) will get 150 points and the 3rd A team gets 100 points.
- If more than one B/C teams submits between two A teams, all of them will get the same bonus points.
- If B/C team(s) submit before the first A team to submit, each of them will get 300 bonus points. The first A team to submit will also get 300 bonus points.
- If the last team (s) to submit before time are B/C team(s), their bonus points will be the average of the bonus points of last A team finishing and zero.
