"bigdaddy999197":
I don't see the TWT as a knockout tournament. The definition of a
knockout tournament is if you lose you are out. That is not the case
with the TWT. The champions continue whether they finish first or last
in each event. That said, the point that is it a peculiar event
stands. That whoever made it to the end of the maze won the tournment
says the point totals, as well as the previous tasks, counted for
nothing.
