You get points when: you score points on questions as your go along the circuit (for ex: 100 points per circuit); your timing is good (for ex: 100 points per for the fastest team, 50 for the second fastest and 0 for the slowest); your circuit and eZB is assessed (for ex: 100 points for the most popular team, 50 for the second most popular and 0 for the least popular) The organizing team will be in charge of working on the pratical organization for the Baludik challenge day.
