    Examples of Model Efficiency Scores

    Efficiency Score: The score equals 0.035 times the weight carried, divided by the bridge weight.

    Team A:

    Bridge Weight = 72g
    Weight Carried = greater than 20kg

    .035 x 20,000g (weight carried, 20kg max) / 72g (bridge weight)

    Efficiency Score = 9.7

    Team B :

    Bridge Weight = 25g
    Weight Carried = greater than 18kg

    .035 x 18,000g (weight carried, 20kg max) / 25g (bridge weight)

    Efficiency Score = 25.2
