6. Scoring System
- The overall competition score includes three elements:

- Weight Loss % | 50%
- Calisthenics Time (with bonuses/penalties) | 25%
- Final 5K Run/Walk (combined time) | 25%
- A. Event Ranking to Points Conversion
- Each event is ranked, and points are assigned as follows:
- 1st place = 100 pts
- 2nd = 90 pts
- 3rd = 80 pts
- ... and so on (10-point intervals)
- Bonus reps add directly to Calisthenics points (max 10 pts)
- B. Final Score Calculation
- Overall Score = (WL pts × 0.50) + (Calisthenics pts × 0.25) + (5K pts × 0.25)
- Highest total wins.
- Tiebreaker: Higher weight loss percentage.
- Example Final Scores
- Team | WL Rank (pts) | Calisthenics (pts + bonus) | 5K Rank (pts) | Final Score
- A | 1st (100) | 2nd (90 + 5 bonus = 95) | 3rd (80) | 100×0.5 + 95×0.25 + 80×0.25 = 93.75
- B | 2nd (90) | 1st (100) | 2nd (90) | 90×0.5 + 100×0.25 + 90×0.25 = 92.5
