 * Each heat consisted of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
 * In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive points for his/her respective team: 1 point for each heat in Stage One, 2 points for each heat in Stage Two, and 3 points for each heat in Stage Three.
 * The points would be cumulated among those three stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
 * If there were at least 2 teams who got the same highest points, those teams would send one member each to scale the Stage Four tower. Whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time, his/her respective team would be the champion of the tournament.
