WINNING THE COMPETITION
Winning teams will be determined based on number of points.
Individuals can earn points throughout the competition in a number of ways. Those points go to his/her team. At the end of the 10 weeks, the top teams that earn the most posts will be awarded cash prizes. If enough contestants enter the competition, a third place team will be awarded.
The male and female losing the largest percent of weight will each be awarded a cash prize. The individual category will not be based on points.
Cash prize amounts will be determined based on the number of participants.

EARNING POINTS
Participants earn points throughout the competition. See how here.
ACCOUNTING FOR DIFFERING TEAM SIZES
In order to compensate for teams of different sizes, we will divide the team’s total points by the number of individuals on the team to find the average number of points earned per contestant. This number will then be multiplied by 6. In other words, this will allow for teams that only have 3 to 5 individuals to be on an level playing field with teams that have more members.
