2024 Leaderboard: Week 3

There was some massive adventuring going on during Week 3 as our Nomad Teams really racked up the points. More teams set off on their Overland Stages and there were a bunch of training activities happening. There was some shuffling around the leaderboard, and by the end of the week, Team 117 Lucas had reclaimed first place with 2,916 points. Team 101 Mercer made a huge jump into second place after returning from a series of Overland Stages and earning 2,376 points.  Team 130 McClellan moved into third place with 2,350 points. While the top three teams have passed the 2,000-point mark, there are several others closing in on them. Seven more teams have reached the 1,000-point level. As the teams currently at the top of the leaderboard max out their available points for Overland Stages and Activities, the gaps will begin to narrow. Some teams are just beginning their Overland Stages this week, and with six more weeks of competition, we can expect some surprises ahead. The Week 3 Challenge was all about tires — and overall the teams did fairly well on it. The teams still have one more week to attempt it. Meanwhile Challenge #4 was released this morning and it’s another potentially “hard” one (though we do give them some easy points to capture just for doing it) — plotting and measuring distances on paper maps, old school style!
