Bonus Points

Individuals can earn bonus points toward final team standings in a number of ways, listed below. Point values are still pending discussion and may be adjusted by democratic vote in the Captains' Meeting on Friday night. If you have a suggestion for new Bonus Points opportunities, give them to your captain for discussion at the meeting or discuss them ahead of time on the Facebook group!

Note: bonus points count toward total team standings, not individual event standings.
