Main Round Scoring vs. Bonus Round Scoring

Main Rounds last roughly one month, and Bonus Rounds are posted every two weeks (or, there are roughly two bonus rounds per month). Based on this, two maxed out bonus rounds (or, a solid month of team effort) is worth very slightly more than placing first in a main round (or, a solid month of team effort). Main rounds are important, and they shouldn't be neglected, but bonus rounds can make a huge difference in the rankings too! It's worth it to your team to pay attention to both sides of the event whenever possible.
