It would be enough, regardless of how many points each contestant 
had.  Getting to the cup first would not result in earning a number 
of points, it would result in winning the Triwizard Tournament.  
Points earned in the previous tasks were only to determine the order 
in which the champions were allowed to start, and the time between 
them, thus meaning that the participant placed first after the 2nd 
task would have a better chance of getting to the cup first than 
no.2, and so forth.  The combined event in Nordic skiing works much 
the same way, even if contestants there are spared from facing 
Hungarian horntails and blastended skrewts (sp?). (The combined event 
combines ski-jimping and cross-country skiing.  Contestants first 
have a skijumping-contest, the point-results of which determines the 
starting-order and how many seconds there are between each contestant 
for the cross-country race.  In the race, it is the first participant 
to reach the finish-line who wins, even if they don't all start at 
the same time.)
