E.g.2: Team C finished with 2 members who have 1 wrist band in 1h30, team D finishes with 1 member without wrist band in 1h30 = Team C wins.
E.g.3: Team E finished with all their wrist bands in 2h, Team F finishes with 2 members who still have 1 wrist band in 1h45, Team G finishes with 1 member without wrist band in 1h30 = Team E wins.
