The above points are the points earned in Round 1 by each Challenger/Build. Points accumulated after all 4 rounds will be added together to determine the final winner. The calculation of the points accumulated in Round 1 is the total points in the 3 Challenger questions (30 total points possible (10 points each)), weighted by the type of build. Then the result is weighted by 75%, and added to the 914world poll results which is weighted by 25%. The resulting total points is reflected above.
