果冻视频 Points will not be allocated where the minimum number of competitors/teams has not been reached, or where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score. Furthermore, an individual/team must have beaten another individual/team to score 果冻视频 Points (i.e. if 3 individuals/teams compete in an event, only 2 will score 果冻视频 Points). This does not apply to extracted teams. Individuals/teams are regarded as having competed if they started the event; therefore, DNS will not be regarded as having competed.
