@Kibbelz, and whomever else may be interested. There's something screwy about the way points are earned in this competition. Last evening my team completed the animal race within the time limit, while one of the opposing teams' members never left the starting gate. Even though all three of us crossed the finish line well before the timer ran out, we did not receive the highest score and lost. We are left to assume one of the other teams' party members reached the key points of the race first, earning them enough points to take the lead. This seems a tad flawed to say the least. I don't think it should be possible for a team to win a competition if one of their members refuses to even participate.
