Bonus points are awarded as follows: 1 point for obstacle No 1 not knocked down, 2 points for No 2, 3 points for No 3, etc. with a total of 21, 36 or 55 points. No point is awarded for an obstacle knocked down. Faults other than knock-downs are penalised as for Table A. 3. First round is not against the clock. Points are accumulated over both rounds with the second round against the clock to decide equal placings. 5. For the last obstacle of the course, an alternative obstacle may be provided, of which one element may be designated the Joker.
