The leaderboard is contrived.
This pattern applies to both Tuesday and Thursday, but not to Wednesday. Look at the leaderboard images below. Cabin #9 is in 1st. Cabin #1 is in 9th. Cabin #8 is in 2nd. Cabin #2 is in 8th. Cabin #4 is in 3rd. Cabin #3 is in 4th. And so on, etcetera, etc. The pattern never fails. This puts all my years at Camp into perspective. Has the contest always been a set up? Or is it only to a certain point? At first I thought the NOA's maybe only put scores up there on Tuesday, the 2nd day, so people wouldn't bother them while they actually calculated the points. But, the pattern came back on Thursday.
Tuesday
Thursday
Stop smiling, Stumpy. Loser.
