1 Class attended: 1 point awarded but 3 points deducted = Score -2
2 Classes attended: 2 points awarded but 2 points deducted = Score 0
3 Classes attended: 3 points awarded but 1 point deducted = Score 2
4 Classes attended: 4 points awarded plus 1 bonus point = Score 5

At the end of the tournament, points will be tallied for each nation and divided by the number of nation participants to give a nation average. The nation with the highest average will be crowned the winner!
